After undergoing a substance abuse program before the season started, his progress on returning from injury has been slow at best. Most had figured after his offseason surgery that he would be ready for action sooner rather than later. But that’s not the case.
Montreal Canadiens Vice President of communications Chantal Machabee today broke the bad news.
Arpon Basu had the quote from her today.
So there we have it Oiler fans. The chances of him starting rehab all over again and playing this year for any team except the Habs, is almost nil.
Even with this heartbreaking news, it won’t stop fans from constantly bringing his name up over and over again.
Hopefully we can all agree, it’s time to move on from this pipe dream.
