Wow, definitely time to step up for Gaborik. I also wouldn't mind seeing Grachev a few games again
He would certainly be the only player who could potentially bring what they are going to miss in Dubinsky, however he is just starting to get something going in the AHL, and that might be more important for his development.
Tough call there.

Well, one positive way to look at things - theyll have half the lineup a little fresher for the stretch run and playoffs. Could be blessing in disguise.
I think he is the most important piece of this team right now. Maybe equal to Henrik. But still...this is a disaster. Not sure how this club will respond to this?
Still got some bodies there. But, losing Dubinsky changes the dynamic. Super gut check to see if this club really does have depth.
We should just start a whole injury thread because this is getting ridiculous.

That damn slew foot from Subban have something to do with this? Dubi has been real ornory lately!
Who knows, Dubi uses his legs for leverage in the corners and driving to the net, among everything else he does. They are a big part of his game. Damn.
