Botch projects Hamhuis to be ready tonight or Tuesday and that Ballard may need a few more days of skating before he plays. More official news to come after the team's game day practice. Always appreciate Botchford's updates. Check his tweets for quick updates.
UPDATE According to Botchford, Hamhuis passed all the concussion tests today and feels he is ready to go. But the team has told him that Tuesday is the day. Ballard did not participate in the team skate. Via CDC, Hammer talks to the media after practice.
UPDATE: Dan Murphy projects Ballard to return on Thursday against the Blues.

Best news I've heard in a while.
THE 8 WORDS I HOPE TO ONE DAY HEAR: "THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS HAVE WON THE STANLEY CUP"
For all our injuries
we usually (knock on wood) have really good luck in terms of our players recovering problem free their injuries. The rehab part is not riddled with setbacks and the road to recovery is not as problematic compared to other teams.

Hamhuis out there for team skate, Ballard is not says Ian Walker

"If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!"
Botch confirmed
Hamhuis skated on his own and then again with team, Ballard on his own only. No worries. Great news about both. Need these guys, bad. Gotta get Ehrhoff and Salo back into a normal ~20 min/game routine ASAP. Botch also trying to play down anybody’s concerns that they’re not being cautious enough with Hamhuis. “theyve been overly cautious already”. Looks like Hamhuis had hardly any, if any, post-concussion symptoms and he was just kept off the ice for a week because he was seen to get knocked out at the time of the hit.

Plus, let’s hope this stops all the Canucks really to trade for a Dman talk.

Gillis saying that he expected all the d-men back by the playoffs should have squashed that already.

Some guy on the sens blog proposed Phillips, Foligno and a 2nd for Schneids and Hodgson. Overvaluing Phillips just a tad
Just

three days is not cautious in terms of concussions.

It is very cautious
considering he hasn’t had any symptoms since the hit a couple weeks ago.

this is good
so good. We can start getting back on track.
Still can’t wait for Bieksa to get back. That shutdown pairing is money.

Souray was put on Re-Entry Waivers today
Canucks would get last crack at him, if no one else is interested.
even at half price?
Yeah, I suppose so. Of course, I mostly wonder if anyone else will take a crack at him. That shot could be a good addition on a team that needs something for the playoffs.
Souray is an injury-prone wiener! No thanks!

Glad to heart they’re both recovering well and our D is piecing itself back together.

Definitely a good time

This awesome news. I just wish Bieksa wasn’t out because Hammer and Juice are so great together.
Well now Hammer can make someone else look good for a while :)

If only we could get one of Willie Mitchell's old sticks
And Salo could play D from the bench.
