Any word if anyone has decided to leave?

[4-H 97-98]

Any word of who is leaving early from the Sioux?

What is the word on the street?

[Goon]

Patience.

[Big A HG]

I don't think any members here have had their official farewell announcements yet....hopefully all we lose are some of the idiots on here.

TJ Oshie just purchased a beautiful new condo in St. Louis directly across from Anheiser-Busch. I'm obviously kidding...TJ has been one of my all time favorite Sioux players to watch and I wish him the best of luck with the Blues. Unless there's that one in a million thing of coming back next year.

All wrong he is actually living in the breweries, his loft will have soundproof walls and all the elevators have all been retrofitted with urinals. :lol:

[Sioux_Yeah_Yeah]

Would Chorney's injury have an effect on whether he leaves or stays? And does anyone know what happened to him?

I've heard MCL and my guess it does, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I would think if surgery is required he is as good as gone. I believe in college players have to pay for surgeries, but Edmonton would surely pay for a surgery for him.

My questions is I know the Capitals were pursuing Joe last year, did they want him for the big show or the AHL, cause depending on the playoffs if someone gets injured and the Capitals get deep he may be signing here shortly

It all really depends on how bad the MCL is and what kind of surgery and recovery he is going to need. Obviously, yes Edmonton would probably pick up the surgery tab on certain conditions but they also might want him to stay and make sure he can rehabilitate and play at the same level. Just thank God it wasn't the ACL (Trust me, I know)

[petey23]

Not sure when playoff rosters have to be set for the AHL, but of note

Hershey is in the playoffs(Capitals)

Peoria is not(Blues)*

Chicago is(Thrashers)

*Chris Porter went ironman on the bit again this year playing in all 80 games for Peoria

I just had ACL reconstruction after tearing my ACL, MCL and Meniscus. What I gathered from my ortho doc is that the MCL (provided it's not completely severed) can usually heal itself through an aggressive rehab program and no surgery. Hopefully that is the extent of Chorney's injury. It looked brutal. I wish him the best of luck in his recovery and rehab!

[Siouxdonyms]

I heard they formed a new pact. They're all going to announce the same day they are leaving, giving the heartbreak to us Sioux fans all at once, rather than spread out the agony over the course of a few months.

that is true, i had torn my mcl in high school and it healed on its own.

...that is, in 3 months

[redwing77]

Patience.

I agree. Patience left us long ago.

Let's hope his does the same!

Patience isn't in Goon's vocabulary..

Not that this is unexpected, but negotiations are underway:

In other Blues news, team President John Davidson said preliminary talks have begun with the adviser to former No. 12 draft pick T.J. Oshie, a forward at the University of North Dakota. "We've started some discussions with his family adviser and we'll see where it goes," said Davidson, who hoped to make progress by the end of the week.

Good luck in the "Bigs" TJ.

what is there to negotiate, here's a rookie max contract take it or leave it?

[mikejm]

^there is room to negotiate incentives. Toews' contract has a $1,750,000 performance bonus for this season!

[Esoxpirate]

Saw Chorney last night at the Puck for Plates event. He looked ok, his job was to sit at the fridge and hand out soda's.

BTW that was an awsome event. My daughert got eveyrbodys autograph who was there including Jonny Toews...

I found this on the Oiler's message board in regards to Chorney's injury

Chorney Injury Update

Chorney said "I got an MRI Monday they found out (it) was just a strain and I'll only be out three to four weeks. It's pretty good news, I feel pretty fortunate."

[dagies]

I'm sure he's more relieved than I am, but I'm relieved for him.

[siouxweet]

sounds like he's almost as good as gone as well.

[Goon]

sounds like he's almost as good as gone as well.

We knew that was the case this fall. Like I mention earlier I talked to a friend of his at the Final Five that said he talked to Chorney and he is not coming back to UND next season. We move on. Wish him well... No one should be shocked by this.

I am not thrilled with it but that is life in the WCHA.

[breakin face]

If I were Kozek I would beg Hotlanta for some ching this year. There is absolutely no way Koz's stock can go anywhere but down right now. His goal total will plummet, yes plummet next year. If I'm Kozek I bounce!!!
