Bergenheim Signs With HIFK (FEL)
 

Bergenheim just signed with my team Helsinki IFK (HIFK). The contract is game based believed to be 8 games for starters.

How sweet my job has season tickets to HIFK games! :handclap:

Instead of making a thread i'd thought i'd post it here -

Santorelli will most likely be playing with his brother in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Looking forward to seeing him if the deal goes through.

Injured knee, out 4-5 months, book it.

What team is Santo going to?

Tingsryd AIF. His littlebrother Mark is playing there aswell :)

Sean Bergenheim injured(lower-body), will fly back to the US for rehab.

Could have happened here also...but points out the stupidity of the lockout! Pox on both houses: NHL and NHLPA

Damn, Bergie is my favorite Panther at this point. At least he's got at least a year to recover.

Damn you! :laugh:

Seriously though, Bergs has averaged 68 games per season in his 5 years in the nhl. He always gets injured at some point.

That has to be the worst English translation ever... thanks Google!

Also, that league has a team named "Weasel" ???

No, of course not. It's "Stoats"...

is this his actual injury? or were you just guessing this before the injury actually occured?

Pure speculation one week before it happening.

Is there any conclusive information about the length of Bergenheims injury?

from what i've read, i assume if bergie is still injured when play starts we have the option of honoring his contract, or not. i read that any player who plays overseas and comes back injured and unable to play when the nhl resumes will give his team the option of negating his contract. is this true?

Who cares TBH, NO WAY Tallon negates his contract, even if it is an option.

So, what's his actual injury and length??

His team in Finland, HIFK, is very quiet about it, supposedly lower body injury and most likely he will not continue playing there during the lockout (not sure if this means injury is serious or he just does not continue playing there)

JOL

This is the one thing I hate about the lockout, the injuries overseas. Im not putting blame on anyone yet since we dont know what went on, but this is the one thing that really bugs me about lockouts, which is these players going overseas to play.

Could be worse, he could be out injured on the Panthers right now if there was NHL hockey. Let's hope he is ready to go WHEN the season starts.

I think this is the main reason Crosby won't be playing overseas... could you imagine what his insurance would cost and the sh*tstorm he would bring if he got injured over there?

I talked to Bergy, he'll have surgery within a few days.
He'll be out 3-6 months :shakehead

I'll wait for a legit source.

this freaking guy can't catch a break. injury prone. if this is true and we have a season and bergie is unable to play again i would seriously look at not honoring his contract due to the injury as was reported as a team option if true for players who got injured during the lockout and are unable to play and fulfill there contract once play begins. this would free up cap space and give us the possiblity of signing a decent player.

Bergenheim is a great player at his rate, pointless to do this, Panthers need him. Once again, I'm glad you aren't the GM.

yeah, he's a great player who has played minimal games for us and is constantly injured. i believe he's got 1 year left on his contract and if that's true and the injury is serious he probably wont play much for us this year either. maybe time to cut our losses. it may be an option. gm's must consider all options.
