No Timetable for Boogaard

Written by Kevin DeLury on .

boogaardfightcampLarry Brooks at the New York Post reports that Derek Boogaard, who has been sidelined with a concussion since Dec. 9, has been sent to Minneapolis to work with a doctor of osteopathic medicine with whom he has a previous relationship from his tenure with the Wild...

"There is no timetable for Boogaard's return, but sources have said the 28-year-old winger is making progress toward a recovery from the symptoms that had plagued him following the fight and leading up to the All-Star break."

Brooks adds that It is difficult to envision Boogaard cracking the lineup at any point this season.

...Boogaard has been out for so long I forget he's on the team. Even if healthy, Boogaard probably would have been a scratch more often then not during the stretch run. He'd be smart to sit out for the rest of the season to get himself healthy for next year.

...while I'm still critical of his contract, I do think there is a role for Boogaard on this team in the future.
