This should come as no surprise to anybody, but Sami Salo is injured yet again. According to the Vancouver Sun, Salo suffered a tear to his Achilles tendon while playing floor hockey in his native Finland. Early reports suggest the hard-luck 35 year old defenseman could miss at least 3 months and will start the season on the IR.
Luckily the Canucks have an abundance of d-men under contract, so they will be able to replace Salo with a proven rear guard.
If anybody benefits from Salo's injury, it's Kevin Bieksa, who has reportedly been on the block. He may now stick around as Salo's replacement to start the season.
Stay tuned for the latest on Salo's injury and much, much more.
