Freaks of nature have freakish recovery I guess. Different sport, but Adrian Peterson destroyed his knee, came back and had a 2000 yard season the next season, when most guys are still off that whole year.

My guess /hope would be his knee wasn't as destroyed as some feared. It was never officially announced as far as I know. Could have just been a meniscus tear.

Oh yeah, no way he recovered this fast if it was something gnarly, I didn't mean to imply his knee injury was similar to Peterson's, just to say that some of these freak athletes have some crazy recovery time.
I think Chychrun is bionic in the first place so maybe just some welding and a software reboot is all it took.

I sent a tweet to Vest, Sarah, and Craig Morgan about Chychrun being on the roster and walking around, these were their responses.

Remember one of the first games of the season when he crashed hard into the boards? I honestly thought he shattered his leg, and if that didn't happen, he would be out for 3 months, minimum. More like 3 minutes. Maybe the kid is bionic.

That was terrifying, I still can't believe he didn't tear every ligament in his knee.
I don't mean to be negative nancy but there's a tremendous gap between normal walking around and playing NHL level hockey. Sure it's better that he's not on crutches and in a brace but he could still easily be months away from returning.

Oh absolutely. Never hurts to ask though. Definitely a good sign he is walking without assistance.

With that team, no need to practice: I consider him as game time decision for the Montreal game

Chychrun’s recovery videos on his Instagram. Looks like he’s moving pretty well now!

That's an interesting take. Let him practice with the team a bit, or play right away? Which leads to the next question: Ease him into the lineup, or throw him into the deep end?
His minutes were kept pretty low last season. I think he can handle a lot more this year once he's 100%. I really like this defence when they're all healthy.

Chychrun skated with the team again this morning and Chayka has updated his status as "week-to-week".
