Injury Report: IR: Gaborik, Nilsson | Killorn, Kucherov, Hedman, McDonagh, Goodrow

Heddy recovery time said to be 2-4 weeks. His surgery is today.

I have to imagine the rehab process is a little longer during* hockey season, right? Otherwise, from March 30th when he sustained it, with the playoffs not beginning until the middle of May, it's hard to understand why he didn't get operated on sooner rather than later. And while I could joke about abusing LTIR more - I did in the main board thread - I'm honestly just wondering what must've led him to decide waiting until after the season was the better option. I mean, shit, things obviously worked out somewhat ok, I guess, but there was no guarantee of that.

*edit. No idea why I wrote "outside".

It's a good question, I'm assuming he thought there would be lingering effects of missing that much playing time. He was also in the middle of a Norris race, can be difficult to throw that away on an injury that isn't terrible difficult to play through.

Goodrow and McD have broken hands. Whats the recovery time for that, roughly?

No updates on the Cirelli wrist injury and possible surgery

Only 2-4 weeks? Should've gotten the surgery in-season, back for the playoffs.
