In my league injured players tend to get heavily downgraded at the draft (eg I got Crosby in the late second round last year). I also believe I have an excellent chance of making the playoffs in my H2H league. If so, I really only would need Kesler to perform in March/April. Is that a reasonable expectation?

What did he have done exactly? I assume either labral/SLAP and/or cuff tear repair. Usually 6 weeks just in a sling to allow healing, then 6 weeks to regain ROM (shoulder gets very stiff), and then strengthening starts at 3 months. And thats just regular rehab, not for sports yet.
He's returning to full contact hockey. So I think it would potentially affect him early on.
