Clarke MacArthur Concussed

[yougo]

Doesn't change my view of the sens offense at all, given they didn't have him at all last year, and we also don't know if he will miss any games. All this speculation is so premature.

If he misses games, they will use puempel in his place or trade for a top six LW.

Or go with Francis Perron? Remember how high you were on him last year.

Not sure what you're referring to but I would have said he's years away if he ever makes it. I don't think there's much chance to see him this year.

Nah, his career is done ...one more concussion and he will have trouble eating soup.

One more concussion? He may be asking for colouring books this Christmas let alone waiting for another head banger.

In other news the grass is green and the sky is blue.

Pretty distasteful comment (not to mention unoriginal).

He's approaching Franzen territory now. Thats absurd this happened in training camp. Clowntown

I would expect Sieloff to get brutalized a bunch during whatever time he has left in training camp. Then again, attacking teammates didn't kill Steve Downie's career, unfortunately.

[Sulla]

Who's on your list of top 6 LW that are available right now? And what sort of package do you think the Sens would send?

what odds Sieloff gets waived at some point this season now..?

This is sad to see, but it will be more sad to see him come back this year. This is when your family needs to tell you to let the dream go and come home. This is also a place where the front office should step up and offer some other options (figurehead of something) to get this guy off the ice.

Tough break for Mac, but the kids trying to make camp, and that’s his game. Like others have said, it’s just bad that a leaf landing on Macs head gets him concussed now.

Good on Ryan tho, gained some respect there. Thought he played without intensity.

There’s no top 6LW on the market to easily trade for, unless you count a guy like Lupul as top 6. Teams don’t trade away top 6 players mid training camp like that *snap*.

Time to put Zack Smith on the watch list. He played some damn good multi-cat hockey at LW in the 2nd half of the season.

Big shout out to my boy Glatt who convinced me to spend a mid round pick on Smith in the off season as I prepared my keeper list for the WHL!

Tip o' the cap to ya! (Oh... and officially moved Yakupov so no more yuky yak on any of my teams. Tis a good day all round for me!

possibly, but will stone hit 70 this year? (sorry... that's a topic for another thread).

I feel bad for MacArthur. We forget that these guys are people first and hockey players second. From all accounts he is a well-liked and respected teammate.

I'm surprised by some of the callous remarks on here and hope those making them don't ever have to deal with what MacArthur is.

I hope he takes care of his health so that he can enjoy his family and rest of his life.
