Hmmm...is he becoming a bandaid boy

wow so misses the first month (10 games or so) and then we are likely looking at a slow start after that ..... I will staying away from him until mid to later rounds in one-year leagues.

Does anyone know of any record on the typical recovery arc for this type of injury and surgery? I know there are some injuries where a player typically takes at least a whole season to re-attain his previous production, whereas some procedures see production return (at least close) to normal after a brief recuperation.

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?

I could be wrong, but I do not believe this type of injury is one that, post-surgery, will cause a major downturn in effectiveness in a player. I think for this type of injury once it's fixed it's fixed and, as long as the player has been conditioning properly, it shouldn't impact his play. This is in comparison to say an abdominal tear, which takes a ton of time to heal and realy hurts the player's effectiveness going forward, especially if they rush back.

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.

The injuries have been off-season. They are definitely hurting production though.
