@knightvine: how do you think zeekers injury affects the #isles td plans?
Casey Cizikas is out a month (give or take a few days) with what appears to be a broken hand. I doubt this injury, hurtful though it is to the Isles, changes Garth Snow’s trade deadline approach.
Just for the record, the deadline is Wednesday at 3 p.m. Eastern time.
