What's there to update? He only missed 3 weeks and then played the rest of the regular season + playoffs. Then he's had 6 months to rest and get ready for the new season (if there'll be one).

From Fantrax:

(9/22/12) Kris Versteeg was one of the few Florida Panthers to skate Friday at the teams' training camp arena in Coral Springs. Versteeg, who is not considered locked out as he is rehabilitating from hip surgery, stated that his recovery is progressing. "I'm starting to feel OK, getting my movement back," the gritty winger said. Versteeg believes he will be ready to play in November.

Oh he's had an off-season hip surgery. Well there's not going to be any NHL-hockey in November so he's got lots of time to heal and be 100% if and when there's a season at all.

Well, his heart is beating so the surgery was successful but this is an update from a month ago. As long as there is no setback in the rehab he should be ready when the NHL is.
