ESPN: Chara out 4-6 weeks.
Could be a lot fucking worse.
4-6 weeks is not nearly long enough to wreck the season. The problem will be if he comes back limited, needs surgery after the season, etc.
If he's basically good-to-go at week 6, this could be a blessing in disguise. (But that is probably unlikely).
Who comes up? A left shot (Warsofsky, Morrow), with Krug staying on Seidenberg's right; or a right shot (Casto, Trotman) with Krug shifting back left. I would lean towards the former, given that the Sharks game was the best we have seen Seidenberg look all year. But that would mean playing Hamilton with Bart or with the new callup.
As far as how people are doing through 5 games in Providence:
Morrow (L) 1-2-2, +4
Eminger (R) 0-1-1 +2 (2 GP)
Youds (R) 0-1-1 +2 (2 GP)
Trotman (R) 0-1-1 -4
Cross (L) 0-0-0, +1 (1 GP)
Breen (L) 0-0-0, even
Casto (R) 0-0-0 +1
Warsofsky(L) 0-0-0 -5
