the timelines i thought for the recovery was retro to mid sept so marchy mid jan and pasta mid feb return
You're absolutely right. I did the math off of reading the article and that's what I got at first - then I got confused reading this thread. I thought I was a month or so off from my original calculation.
It just confirms what I originally thought: If the surgeries are successful, and Marchand and Pasta rebound, it's actually decent timing for the surgery, and they should miss very few games. Honestly, things like this may be part of the reason the NHL isn't shortening the off-season. Or, rather, the NHLPA sticking to their guns and making sure their players have time to recover and have necessary off-season surgerys is the reason they're not going to shorten the off-season and start right away.
