I see his goals staying the same at a 23 goal pace, but his passing will be off the charts and he will now have a 30 assist pace, and he will finally become a 50 point+ player again.

It's his other shoulder, not the same shoulder that he had surgery on previously. So he's had surgery on both shoulders now. It will be interesting now that there's extra roster spot open.

We can fill it internally in the short term (Bill Bradford, Thompson, Paajarvi, etc). It will give us a chance to get a longer look at some of our younger fringe guys. Or we will almost definitely sign a few AHL/NHL tweeners to sub-million 1-way contracts like Agostino that could be used as a call-up.

So with Bergy out and the Blues wanting to try Schenn at center first, the lines could look this.
Schwartz-Stas-Tarasenko
Fabbri-Schenn-Steen
Sobotka-Barbie-Paajarvi
Sundqvist-Brodz-Jaskin
There's a chance Sanford becomes a top 9 option or somebody unexpected has an awesome camp and forces their way onto the roster. I thought Barbashev and Paajarvi had really good chemistry the times they played together and think with Sobi that would be excellent speedy third line with some skill.

Hi Keeba!
I'm just glad they immediately decided on surgery rather than 'rehabbing' it and letting the problem recur mid-season.
Once he's had both sides repaired this way, he should be in good shape to avoid future issues (after he's rehabbed). This season will be significantly compromised, and maybe it will be a full year to see him back to normal.

He Can't Play Center
He definitely was last year. If he can put on another season like last year following surgery, we might have a trade piece on our hands, or at the very least a tough choice to make between Sobotka, Berglund, and Barbashev
Pretty easy choice to keep Barbashev given his cost and age, and potential. Unless he's netting us something great in a trade, he's not in this conversation.
The other 2 yeah it doesn't really matter but I do think Sobotka is probably the better player. Better on faceoffs, tougher, better playmaker which we could use if we need to put a different center with Tarasenko or something. Just feel Sobotka is more versatile than Berglund.

I actually have something similar although it's much more pronounced in my right shoulder than my left. Basically the shoulder joint is a ball and socket. The top of the arm is the ball, the socket is from your scapula (it's a little more complicated because of your collarbone but this isn't anatomy). For me, the bottom part of my socket is underdeveloped making it easier for the ball to "fall out" thus dislocating the shoulder. Of course, it's also easy to pop right back in, but if it affects any tendons or whatever, it can be really painful. I couldn't lift my arm above chest height without pain for about two months after I landed on my elbow playing goalie in soccer because of that.
In order to prevent it, you try to stiffen/stengthen the various tendons that hold the ball in the socket. I did this through physical therapy but if that hadn't worked, I'd have had surgery to shorten the tendon.
No idea if Berglund has something similar, but workouts would be the place it happens. There are some exercises I can't/won't do cause they're uncomfortable.

So it is reported that he slipped while doing a sled exercise. I have been there just didn't injury anything.

Can't we just make up some stuff like the Blackhawks and get the league to let us put him on permanent LTIR?

Hi Keeba!
Hopefully some good can come out of this since we're likely to get some more solid Bergy gifs like this one.

Did anyone really see Sanford making the roster as a full time player this season? There are a lot of scraps of ice time to be fought for between a lot of young guys. This just thins the herd a little bit.
Jaskin is cold blooded. Let's see some of that ruthless aggression against the opponent next time.
Also, the Bouwmeester thing is no good. Tough void to fill, but opportunities will roll down hill. More minutes for Edmundson, guaranteed starts for Gunnarsson, and a roster spot certainly opens for Dunn or Walman. Maybe both.

Nope..... i didnt see him making it. From practice it sounds like they were trying Eddy with Pie anyways. Gunn can fill that 2nd pairing minutes adequately. Bring on the WalDunn parade.
Who sniped Boumeester? It would be funny if it was one of Dunn or Walman
