Injury Report: Jason Spezza (Herniated disc - Back surgery - Out at least 2 months)

[ElRossoMatt]

Oh man..really,really concerned here, just like everybody else i guess.

Please someone post some good news.

[H2O]

I'm not worried until I hear enough reasons to be worried.

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Sign Getzlaf.

[Liliaceae]

Sheesh I thought there was news.. I'm pretty worried too :/

[HappyDude]

With Zibanejad and DaCosta and Turris as stud centers, I seriously think its time to trade Spezza.

Trade Spezza for Yandle.

[Gil Gunderson]

The lack of info so far is worrisome.

If he's out for an extended period I'm down for getting Ryan O'Rielly outta Colorado.

[mikey]

I think its his back.

We could send them the new OEL in Vikstrand.

Relax. Lateral move at best and if anything, Vikstrand is a more sexier name, no homo.

I second that, even if Spezza returns having Spezz, Turris, ROR, Regin. Our center depth would look unreal.

[BK201]

Yesterday he was spotted at the airport before the game any one here anything more.

[inthewings]

If his back keeps him out of more than a handful of games this season is over.

[PCooper]

*assuming long term Spezza injury*

I'd be fine with letting Zibby and even DaCosta get some solid ice time to see what they can do. If that fails after several games, look for a short-term, cheap, veteran stop gap at C. Put a huge load on Turris and see what happens.

We're still technically in "year two of a three year rebuild" so no time like the present to let our prospects get some injury replacement/quality ice time.

[General Granny*]

DaCosta oppertunity to show us his swagger.

Flying somewhere to see a specialist?

I'll say 6-8 weeks.

O snap that is not good.

[Bruiser]

Add Gonchar to the injury list, he has a lower body injury and won't play tonight.

Yup.

Spezza out long term = time to pack up and build for next season.

He also totally guess so wouldn't be so worried.
