Might explain his poor play.
Let's hope so. Looks like he'll be ready to go by the start of next season.

Interesting that he was dealing with this last year as well. He was pretty good last year. Hope his recovery and rehabs go well. He’s a gamer for playing this far into the season.
Every doctor recommends the least invasive procedures first and that's almost always in the patient's best interest. Labrum tears often heal on their own with rest and physical therapy. It's more unusual that it leads to surgery than doesn't.I wonder if the team was hoping the extended layoff would have helped heal it naturally than surgery. It didn't work, apparently. Probably should have had surgery instead of listening to our current doctors. We need better experts in the medical dept.
This is true. The big problem is that he has obviously been playing when he should have been resting instead. But better late than never, I guess.Every doctor recommends the least invasive procedures first and that's almost always in the patient's best interest.

It might have healed or improved to the point of being satisfying enough to play on and then was reaggravated during this season. That's what I would guess considering the comments that he has been dealing with it off and on for a couple years now.This is true.

Yeah. This kind of comes back to "playing through some bumps and bruises" vs. resting long enough for the injury to heal properly. But I do understand the desire to play when it feels "good enough."It might have healed or improved to the point of being satisfying enough to play on and then was reaggravated during this season.

I've been through it. When I was 18 I suffered a herniated disc in basketball. It was bad enough that surgery wouldn't have been an extreme measure, but the surgeon told me that conservative treatment would be better even if it takes a lot longer because no matter what the injury is or who the patient is I would never be the same after surgery.Yeah.

That’s what it sounds like, but this is a strange time to retire.So, did Backes just play his last game or something? According to Stephens (The Athletic Real Time feed) it had looked like farewells took place after last game.

It’s time to just pull the plug for this season and focus on Oct. I mean the plug felt unplugged for several weeks now.
Silf should be back by then and healthy and will have Drysdale and Zegras full time next season.
Apparently he has been added to the Taxi squad, wonder if he gets in on Wednesday. Not sure how I feel about this. He has been looking better and better each game, and loved his overall game last night.
Man I hope Benoit draws in. It would be nice to have one damn guy on the back end who can throw a hit. And he's been putting up points lately too.Zegras and Benoit added to the taxi squad, Drew and Golod sent down. Gulls don’t play again until Friday.
Important to note that both Zegras and Benoit were recalled to the taxi squad, so I’m unsure if they can be added to the NHL roster today unless there is an Emergency Recall. They also played last night, so I would expect they don’t play tonight. I’m guessing they both draw in on Wednesday.
EDIT: Both Getzlaf and Lundestrom are injured and on the active roster, so an Emergency Recall is definitely possible.
