What’s with our prospects lacerating their spleens?

Laing is no prospect, but that was basically my implication on the likelihood of it happening to two guys in the org – crazy (especially since things happen in threes…).

at least it wasn’t Carlson or Alzner…

So does this make it harder to trade him over the summer or will teams still take him since this is an injury that players normally have a full recovery from?

Have you ever tried to trade a spleenless player? Man, it is tough. No one wants a dude without a spleen, no one.

Sean Avery and Peter Forsberg both have no spleens. And I’d be glad to have Laing back on the team next year. My concern with Lepisto (aside from his health, which is mitigated by the fact that he probably will suffer no lasting detriment from this) is his trade value. I thought he was a prime guy to be traded to move up in the draft this summer. We shall see.

Yikes. Get well soon Sami!

Let's go Caps!

Damn! Maybe the Caps need to invent a spleen guard. :-)

Hope the guy is ok and then I hope he finds his way to another organization. Like others have mentioned I hope this hasn’t hurt his trade value.
