What are we looking at now, another week or two?

He skated at UBC last Thursday but no word on the outcome (e.g. I feel ready to go) which tells me that it wasn't good news - at least not worthy of a Gillis comment (e.g. Ryan skated today and felt good. We should see him at practice in 1 week).

Apparently his recovery has been slow due to the wrist and shoulder injury being on the same side so he can't rehab as effectively.

Can't wait to get this guy back! Stole him in the 13th round of my keeper league's inaugeral draft as everyone forgot about him.....great news that his return is imminent.

Return is not imminent by any means. He's skated but very little and has not been particiting in drills. I'd hold off on the excitement until you hear a reputable source telling you he's on his way back...

at this point, from a keeper league owner, I would prefer him to just take as much time as he needs. This isnt a time to rush back
