His hockey career is probably over. Adam Mascherin had similar problems with his shoulder and had it operated on several times until he retired at the age of 25.
Adam Mascherin was an AHL player and Josh Norris is a top 6 forward in the NHL making $8million a year, so there's a much great incentive for Norris to give this a go

I fell down like ten years ago and hurt my shoulder and it was never the same.
I'm not a professional athlete, but shoulders are weird.
Yeah,I hurt mine like 12 years ago and it's now somewhat healed although still gets tired more easily than normal.

Somebody tell Taransenko that Adam Mascherin had similar problems and had to reitre at age 25.

Seems a little unhinged to suggest his hockey career is probably over or in jeopardy like quite a few have.

Lotta assumptions, ya. Klefbom is an unfortunate counter-example, but Tarasenko lookin good after 3 is encouraging.

Hope Norris can come back healthy.

From what I know of the situations they don't appear to be similar at this time, Klefbom had surgery to repair an arthritic shoulder.

Has Tarasenko had three surgeries on the same shoulder?

Yes. In a span of 28 months. Shoulder dislocation is one of the more common injuries for players and frequently requires surgery because of the nature of the sport. Of course there is concern moving forward, always is with any surgery but we aren’t at a point where retirement is a part of the conversation.

8 years after an entry level must be crazy tempting for both player and team

but here is the downside

I'd say Norris was the least deserving of the long term deals Ottawa handed out.

Right, I’m hopeful it’s different, but wasn’t the arthritis issue due to prior injury? I don’t know, I just thought that was the thing. Same with Hemsky, kinda? I believe he said it was shoulder issues that actually shut ‘er down.

Just tryin to gain knowledge here, I really hope it’s different and he comes back strong.

On a different boat, I thought that surgery was supposed to fix his shoulder? Once you seperste your shoulder it's usually pretty easy to do it again.

I don't know why he just doesn't just pop it back in and then flirt with the team psychiatrist like Riggs does.

Josh Norris and Adam Mascherin are much more similar in missed time than Tarasenko.

I believe with Klefbom the arthritis was something he tried to manage over a couple years before going for surgery and when he went for surgery to correct it, they knew there was a chance that he might not get to a point where he would be able to play again. The procedure was to address the arthritis, nothing suggests that’s the case for Norris.

From what I gather Hemsky didn’t have reoccurring injury to the same shoulder, rather surgery each one. Later in his career it was a hip injury and concussions that caused him trouble. The Athletic is a great resource for learning about players after hockey and going through injuries.

How are you coming to that conclusion? Norris played two full seasons between 1st and 2nd surgery. Tarasenko played one. Norris and Tarasenko had the 3rd surgery one season after the 2nd.

Norris also had his third surgery done by the same surgeon as Tarasenko so I’m guessing the nature of the injuries and the procedure done are similar.
