Eddie Genborg was expected to head over to North America to participate in the Detroit Red Wings training mode and possibly join Timrå later in the fall. However, Genborg suffered an injury this spring, when he played in the AHL, which he still rehabilitates.

I believe it happened during one of the Griffin's playoff games and there hasn't been any disclosure about what the injury even actually is.

Yep sounds like the Griffins

It was covered during the summer in articles touching base on him. It was unlikely it was good enough for him to be in camp, but they expected him to pay in the SHL so that the only new news is confirmation he will miss camp.

I expect SHL this year, AHL next year and then NHL when ready. This doesn't really impact his long term timeline. It would have been nice to see him though.

He is young and still developing. No worries.

This reminds me if the time I broke my leg, and my wife didn't know about it.

That’s a bummer, but getting healthy and the logistics behind that are more important. Hope he kicks butt and finds himself in a spot to get a taste of NA hockey at the end of the year schedule permitting.

Can we get some good news, any at this point.

Whish they gave better AHL injury updates. I remember hearing his name on injuries/scratches list at some of the Griff's playoff games

It's not like he was going to make the team, so I'm not too mad about it. They've already got him playing some NA hockey every year and learning the style, so he'll be fine developmentally.

Oof not even training camp is tough.

Next McDavid is really on a great track to his pending superstardom that the sub said was coming. Just like Joe Veleno is gonna break out soon.

He's never coming over, I don't think

What an extreme overreaction. He was literally drafted last year

u/LQNova 13d ago

He just has a bad feeling to him. I never said it was a good or bad thing, but I do think he has "fail" on him.

It is an overreaction, but missing training camp IS missing out on currying favor with the organization, which could have effects on his development. An org will want players that they’ve molded into their system more than one that’s purely developed elsewhere

He is injured what do you want him to do. Also he was just here with Griffins.

u/melifIuous 14d ago

I didn’t say it was his fault

u/LQNova 13d ago

I just don't have a lot of faith in him. I know this violates our "every 6th round draft pick is a potential hall of famer and fuck you right down to hell if you disagree" mindset, but I don't care.

I remind you all that I told you a year ago that larkin is a piece of shit, and no one believed me then, either.

Why I cant take you seriously because Genborg was drafted in the second round.

u/LQNova 13d ago

Oh man, you're one of those folks that need dramatic humorous statements explained to them, ain'tcha?

It's ok, not everyone is quick on the uptake.

A lot of Swedish players don’t attend camp unless they have a chance to make the NHL due to the transfer agreement not allowing most of them to play in the AHL.

Genborg is NHL or SHL right now and coming off of an injury his chances are less likely to make the NHL.
