Hopefully just a minor setback/cap problems.
"The initial timeline when he had that surgery was 12-16 months. Last week marked the 18th month timeline. He still hasn't resumed normal hockey activities."

How can it be a "minor" setback? We're 2 months past the worst case scenario ( which was 16 months) and he's nowhere near close to be ready.

If it was minor he'd have started playing last month.

It's all relative. A "minor" setback after a career threatening experimental cartilage transplant surgery could be a couple months. He's skating now again.

Or as I alluded to, they might not have the cap to activate him yet, so they're not rushing his return.

The worst case scenario was retirement. The 12-16 months was always a guesstimate. This was a procedure that no one else in hockey has ever had or attempted to come back from. There was and is no book on how it would work. Landy is the book.

I still wonder if it is all finally a cap ploy. Even if he is healthy they still have to make it look like things are not ready till they have cap space. Hell I still say depending on how the season goes they need to make that happen till the playoffs so they can add at the deadline.

Outside of playing like a 7M AAV forward again that was the absolute best case scenario.

Worst case was living with uncertainty for years and preventing the team to have a new captain and to move on.
