Missing at least the first month of the year, not great!
Boiiiiiiiiii
Wish this was something he got done earlier in the summer 🙃
Well that’s just awesome…
Injury gnome / curse starting early this season I see.

Milkshake Factory breathes a sigh of relief!
That’s also about 15% of your goal scoring gone

So it begins
Hey wait a second…that puts him on LTIR……
Takes goals away in his contract year, and maybe some LTIR trickery
Is this some kinda LTIR move? Is Dubas playing the Tampa Bay game? I like it I like it!
Well, I’d rather have him miss the first month instead of time later in the season. I hope he has a speedy recovery!
De Beauty league claims one
If his recovery goes well he should only be missing 8-9 games which isn’t that bad.
Da Beauty League is dead to me.
Remember when I said that his style of play leads to serious injuries and shortened careers, and the rest of you downvoted the hell out of me for this obviously true statement?
DOC first line winger, do it sully
The injury curse is hitting us before the season has even started.
