The Edmonton Oilers and the NHL got some bad news...Superstar rookie, Connor McDavid will be out, "Long-term" with an "apparent upper body injury"...That's what was being said late last night....
The injury occured as McDavid was driving towards the goal and was run into the boards...
Official word of what the injury is, will be disclosed later today, but all speculation and rumblings have it being a broken collarbone and that McDavid will be put on the Long-Term IR...
How long that term will be is unknown...He's young, healthy and strong...He'll recover quickly...But the Oilers may also take their time and not rush the rookie phenom back...
Like I said, this is bad news for the Oilers...Bad it's bad for the NHL too...Through 13 games McDavid had logged 5 goals and 7 assists...The NHL and it's TV partners were looking forward to two McDavid vs. Crosby match-ups this month, the first being Friday...Plus McDavid and the Oilers versus the defending Cup Champion, Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday...
I wish the kid a speedy recover, and hope the long-term isn't too long...for the good of hockey and my fantasy team...
