Seriously!!
Who knows if/when he'll be back but I think just having him around the team again is great!!

I can't wait until Raffi comes back, he is misunderstood by so many and a great player. He was also pretty nice in person when I met him.

Time to ice Scott, Torres, and Brown together. The amount of concussions league-wide will skyrocket.

Sharks could definitely use him, but the sporadic and inconsistent news regarding his knee hasn't inspired confidence.

"Beyond the fact he plans to skate for the first time next week, there is no timetable for his possible return to the lineup. But he is hopeful that will come to pass."

Well, that's a little less than encouraging
for sure, lets hope there no setbacks so we can get him playing with some reg. season still to play, looks like we will need him to get to the playoffs.

IIRC, management said that he would have surgery and be back in the spring like last year. THEN they said that they were going to skip the surgery and implied that it would shorten the time off. Then... nothing for months...
Now:
"I'm just trying to be hopeful and that when I start skating it's not affecting me," Torres said. "If I can play at the level I need to play at, I'll keep going. If not, we'll have to sit down again and reassess the situation."
So he might work for a few weeks/months and THEN decide that it does need surgery afterall - another year away from the game.
NOT what we all hoped for when he signed that 4 year deal.

The circumstances as a whole kind of suck. Freak knee on knee then he came back early to try and help in the playoffs and then an infection that leads to having to redo the whole surgery. Skipping on the surgery means he may play this year, doing the surgery means next year at the earliest. Skipping then doing surgery a little later means he'll get to play this year and probably play at some point next year too. After missing a year, I'd bet he's really eager to get as much playing as he can.
