I don't think it's wise to label any prospect as "safe."
But that's just me.
I said safest, not bulletproof. There are always worst case scenarios that could apply (bad injury, cancer, etc), but Brodin is in the top tier of safe because of his skating and IQ. He had already adapted well to a more offensively aggressive system in the AHL after...Did it even take him a game?
god.damn. wow for such a wee bone that's one hell of a recovery time.
at least it's warm in houston! hmmm...i suppose he could go wherever he wanted though, right?

Granlund's rehabbing in Houston, but Russo hasn't commented on where Brodin will be. I would suspect he'd be down there so he can stay with the team, but it's possible the Wild have him up in St. Paul so he's close to their medical staff.

if you're refering to Brodin, it takes a minimum of 6 weeks for a collarbone to heal right. it only takes 8 lbs of pressure to break one, and he's gonna get hit the 1st game he comes back, since its a contact sport. so i would be on the safe side and sit longer so you dont risk cracking it again. (i know from experience)
@danccchan I'd take a broken collarbone/bone over any kind of ligament damage.
Luckily with a broken collarbone, you can put on a set of He Man shoulder pads and protect it, unlike with say a separated shoulder or muscle/ligament injury.
The bones in my nose have been broken more times than I can remember counting.
The other was my collarbone. Twice. Once on either side.
The left side was broken in elementary school. Small hairline fracture. Only took about three weeks, as a kid, to feel right again.
The right side was broken junior year in high. Blunt impact break that fully broke and separated the bone. Required small surgery.
Squidz is dead on that conditioning doesn't take a big hit, if you are able to work the lower body without causing too much pain. About two weeks after the surgery, I would have my right arm and shoulder completely immobilized and then would go out and run 5 miles. Although, it was broken in September, and I recall having issues with it well into the spring track season which started in March...
Edit; Forgot this part... I had some ligament damage in my hips senior year that I never sought medical attention for... Both hips will still bother me to this day because the sockets are "loose" due to the ligaments not really rebounding fully.
