Didomenico Looking Strong In His Return

Seeming lost in all the hype and fervor over the Olympics was the recent return to action of one Chris Didomenico. A surprise selection for the 2009 World Junior Championships, Didomenico suffered a badly broken leg in the QMJHL Finals, an injury which had many questioning his ability to return.

As the updates came in, Didomenico continued to show excellent progress in his rehabilitation.  His efforts were finally rewarded last Wednesday when, in his first game back with Drummondville of the QMJHL, he scored a goal and added three assists. As of this writing, Didomenico has recorded 2 goals and 4 assists in 3 games.

Breathe easy, Leafs‘ fans.  It looks as though “Dido” is back on track.

A couple of notes:

  • For the balance of this season, Didomenico (who, prior to the injury, was expected to be a member the AHL Marlies this season) will remain as an overager with Drummondville in the QMJHL as he continues to work himself back into form.
  • Should the Marlies make the playoffs, there is a chance Didomenico could suit up for a few playoff games, if (and only if) Drummondville’s season and playoffs have come to an end.
  • Didomenico was signed to a three year Entry-Level Contract last March.
  • The silver lining to the injury? Didomenico, previously thought of as too slight for the NHL at 6’1 170, is estimated to have added 25 pounds during his rehab regimen.

    @ Aetherial:

    You answered your own question. Why would we trade Kaberle for Ott plus when we can just sign him for free. Kaberle has to be used to acquire assets that other team’s actually don’t want to part with, or are only parting with because of contract disputes or the need for a big shake up. Ott is a 4th line player; he would not be the main piece of any significant deal.

    @ slowburn:

    I agree, the risk there is all with Toronto. Short of breaking his back, even an injured Jordan Staal is worth far more than the picks we are sending back to them in the summer. We’d be putting a lot of faith in the word of Ray Shero. Coincidentally, the Pens do not have the cap-space to take on Kaberle and Ponikarovksy without sending roster assets back the other way.

    Another gold…nice. Heard today Canada has 18 4th or 5th place finishes in the Olympics. If just a few more of those were top 3…but far from a disaster as being reported.

    if we got hodgson for kabs, i could totally see burke doing it. at that point, we’d become much more attractive to free agents signing here. we would have a sick young core, and add two key free agents over the next two summers and we’d be competing with the best……

    i could not imagine having the following in 3-4 years:

    - kadri at 22 years old
    - hodgson at 23 years old
    - schenn at 24 years old
    - phaneuf at 28 years old
    - bozak at 27 years old
    - James Reimer at 25 years old (here’s hoping he’s a hidden gem)
    (or Jonas at 29 years old)
    - kulemin at 26 years old

    i see two great defencemen,
    two great first line forwards (potentially anyways),
    two great 2nd line players
    (hopefully) one great goalie

    all hitting their prime.

    add in a couple of VERY good veterans, and some spare parts and we’re doing well…..
