Well anyone have news on if he passed his physical? The fact that none of this leaked before now is not good. DL probably really looking to get some help.

During the beginning, middle, or end of lockout?

To repair what?

Looks like Lisa Dillman said it was around early October (no link).

According to Sutter he is about 2 months away.

Probably tore something carrying the Cup on the top of that mountain.

if you're going by "it should have been a couple weeks. Now it's almost seven".. I took it as he should have been back after a couple weeks and it's been 7 weeks since he should have been not going forward...

So he should be ready to go any day.

Setback came from pushing too hard, too soon. Not MCL or ACL related but was apparently to remove some cartilage, DL said.
