one way I can think of, though it would have likely had more press, was if he got a skate blade to the area, i.e. another player stepped on him there.
Confirmed Trade: [CAR/VGK] Max Pacioretty and Dylan Coghlan for future considerations

Canadian heptathlete Georgia Ellenwood had the injury during a high jump attempt. I follow her on IG and the recovery process looks really tough.

Ugh. It's a brutal injury. It ended Donovan Bailey's career. Some guys beat the odds but most never get their speed fully back afterwards. This injury is going to cost Patches a lot of money on the next contract. He's going to have, like, 25 games to show what he's got and it's so tough to get into a rhythm that late in the season, especially with a new team that plays a strange system.
He might end up in a situation where it's best to take a 1-year deal next year but that's a big risk at 34-years-old.

Patches will basically have gone two seasons with minimal play, so the thought that he can suddenly be turned on at full speed for the playoffs is just fantasy, particularly with an unfamiliar team. If anything, he'll be a liability for the first two months back.
At least Kotkaniemi is there to carry the team while Patches is out.

Was this injury known about at the time of the trade? Could that be why it’s so cheap cause it was just an LTIR dump?

I doubt they would have him working out if that was the case

Hm something had to be known though if future considerations was based on how many games he’d play as on poster mentioned.

That’s funny as it’s habs fans who can’t seem to let it go. But you guys do you. I get that there’s not much to be excited about as a habs fan right now so that’s probably why y’all spend so much time thinking about the canes and living in the past.
I never professed to be an oracle. I’ve just heard he’s going to have a bigger role next year, so you tell me.

If the injury was known, Vegas also would have known that they could LTIR him for the season and get him back for the playoffs. They really wouldn’t have had to move him as a result.

I feel bad for Max here this is a shitty injury he should be ok tho id say
he never was all that fast he needs to be in a scoring spot and do quick release shots to score anyways for most part
