Great news on Nylander, probably erred on the side of caution for some time now. Hopefully he will not have a repeat incident.

They absolutely erred on the side of caution when it came to his return trip to Toronto.  Everything else was pretty much just textbook concussion recovery.  They went by the book and didn't advance him to activity until he was symptom free.

It's interesting though.  There is some literature in younger kids that getting them involved in very light activity post-concussion isn't the worst thing for them.  I personally don't use that philosophy when I see kids after head injuries but there are some studies out there that advocate very light non-contact activity isn't the worst thing after the 48 hour quiet period.

As for Nylander and playing/not playing in the medal round.  That was always speculation.  When he had symptoms still he was never going to play.  A typical 7-10 day recovery period would have had him ready to play in the medal round if he recovered right away and if he was symptom free that likely would have happened.  It likely had absolutely nothing to do with the Leafs making that decision for Sweden.

What do you do LK?

He runs guns for a Columbian drug cartel.  Geez can't you see that?
 
LuncheonMeat said:
So he's a drug-running Columbian pseudoscientist, who apparently is a big fan of OHL hockey. Got it!  :D

To be fair, he doesn't run the drugs, just their guns.  He himself may or may not be Columbian.

Keefe says Nylander is likely to return in one of their two games this coming weekend.
Click to expand...

He's 8 points behind the AHL scoring lead with 32 games left to play.  He's trailing guys who have played 13-16 more games than he has.  Assuming he can resume his season scoring rate of 1.26PPG, he's likely got just enough time and games left to still win the scoring crown, though it'll likely be close.

Andrew Nielsen is handily leading the WHL in defenseman scoring, with 12-39-51 in 48 games.  Next best in the WHL is 44 points.  In no small part because his Lethbridge team is by far the highest scoring team in the league, but still good to see.

And Dmytro Timashov still leads the Quebec Remparts in scoring, despite having only played 29 games for them this year, picking up 53 points.  The guy one point behind him has played 47 games.

Although Timashov got traded to Shawinigan where he has 11 points in 7 games.

Yeah, I failed to mention that.  I had been looking up his stats to see how he was doing and was amused to see he was still leading the Remparts despite getting traded and playing in the WJC.
 
when I start to think what we have seen in Nylander, Brown, Kapanen, Leipsic, Timashov and this kid: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/twigs/2016/1/28/10863912/leafs-prospect-andreas-johsnon-with-exciting-game-winner
With a top 4 pick this draft, it makes me very excited to think about the future with Babs to lead these kids.
 
AHL All-star game(s) going on tonight.  Similar to the NHL they are using their OT format but are doing a full round robin with the four divisions.

Josh Leivo scored with 36 seconds left in the first game to give his team a 1-0 win.

Oh yeah? Kinda explains his slow return. Although he's still doing well.
