Matheson Barron Hutson Savard Harris Kovacevic SCRATCHES Struble Guhle Undisclosed Xhekaj Shoulder

I can't see anyone making the team next season without first a trade or transaction of some sort. Hughes won't risk anyone on waivers. Are all of Struble Harris Barron Xhekaj able to be sent down next season? Cause that changes alot

I agree, I think he watches the game from the press box Saturday and plays the double header vs Detroit

Struble back at practice. He's a Beast!

We can also trade one of our current D prospects for a top forward and replace him with a top 10 D draft pick in 2024. The good news is we have so many assets, we can dictate the direction we go.

tsn690 was speculating hand

I can't see Habs getting much for Allen. I think 3rd RD is best case, but even that is a reach.

And Xhekaj with Engstrom or Konyushkov

Nobody wants him participating in full practice until next season ( i surely dont). But, light skating on his own, to activate his quads, cycling for his hams, etc, to combat muscle atrophy will only help. As long as he's wearing his brace to avoid any twists, etc. He's over 4 months post-op, so he's almost there, if not already with fullbone growth around the pins holding his new ligaments in place. That's the biggest hurdle really. Odds of him re-tearing after ligamentization vs tearing it out of the bone before bone growth and fusion of pins /bones is much lower.

There is a huge difference in timeline, pending which procedure was used to fix both ligaments -Double grafted semi tendinosis -double grafted patella tendon - cadaver If the cadaver was used in the procedure and given his young age.... 8 months to return isn't out of the question. I would expect he would wear a ortho brace to start. The semi tendinosis provides best results although hardest rehab, and comes with added hamstring issues.
