Here is the Holmgren statement.

Flyers GM Paul Holmgren gave an injury update on Flyers forward Scott Hartnell:

"Scott will be out indefinitely with a left foot injury. We will know more on this within a day or two as we await results of tests."

If they don't have the results of the tests, how can Holmgren proclaim Hartnell out indefinitely. Doesn't seem to jive.

There might be too much swelling for a MRI.

So on that note Hartnell's probably out 6-8 weeks, I'm guessing he fractured his foot or something along the lines of that

Jason Arnott anybody?
Hey listen it could be worse. He'd come cheap.

They'd have to make a deal to address his absence. You'd hope they could get a vet on the last year of a deal for a pick, but the other team will smell the desperation, so not likely.

Arnott? Knuble?

Want to go younger? Richard Park

- FLYERSROCK!

I would be fine with that, he brings leadership, he wins faceoffs and he's probably get you 10-15 goals at least

Probably have to trade the 1st rounder to land Subban

A 1st rd pick and what else?

I'm good with either on...have to drop a contract somehow, via trade or termination

I'd guess Schenn

There might be too much swelling for a MRI.
- Jsaquella

Maybe that's it. But MRI's are usually for muscle injuries, you would think the type of injury Hartnell would have from being hit on the skate with the puck would be picked up with an x-ray. Sometimes an x-ray won't show a fracture, but an MRI will.

Who knows, odds are he won't be playing anytime soon, so it's a moot point.

I'd be amazed if it's not a fracture.

I'd guess Schenn

Do you think Schenn and Gostisbehre would get it done?

Great just got home looked on Facebook lo and behold more terrific news.... Smh

No.

- FreshFlyer

Probably a safe bet. 6-8 weeks equates to what, about 20-25 games? Good lord.

Ah poop, what now? Bryz leaves for international space station? Luke Schenn discovers Buddhism?

They barely have anything to move, it's cost you more then it's worth & then leave you weak in another area.

It's not worth it

Isn't that the definition of indefinitely? When you don't have a definite timeframe?

It's only just begun Joe. Was so excited for the season to start, and in 3 games the fun has been sucked right out of me.

Giroux centering Tostito and Shelly.
Yes sir that will strike fear in the hearts of the opposition.

Dude just be thankful your a flyers fan.

- BulliesPhan87

That is the meaning of the word yes, but when I see it, I assume it's a long term type injury. Do you ever see someone who is said to be out indefinitely return in 3 days? I'm sure it has happened, but that is the exception, not the norm.

I'm just shocked it wasn't called a lower body injury. Now I know he play again. So where's couturier getting traded to?

If Hartnell is out for more than half the season. They have to think about just signing some scrubbs and riding this thing out. I mean if there was ever a season to suffer through it is right now. Lockout shortened with a great draft. I'm Flyered up!

Ah poop, what now? Bryz leaves for international space station? Luke Schenn discovers Buddhism?

Phones ringing dude.
