That pretty much ends his season barring a deep playoff run from the Stars. Six months would be early June. Tough break for Stars fans.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Jim Nill has had it up to here being the nice guy. Dallas now has 10 mil in LTIR space to add to the roster.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Probably career ending

Damn, he was having a great season, too. Hate to see that

4 months would be early April. I'm hoping he takes his recovery nice and slow and isn't truly ready to play until Game 1 of the playoffs so the Stars can add 10 mil worth of players since that's what teams do now.

RIP

Probably career ending

At 32, I doubt it. He will come back. The question will be how much it effects him.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Tough break for Segs, he was off to a great start this season too.

Big ol' hole in the roster now, hopefully the team rallies around this both on the ice and in the locker room.

Yeah he'll play some more games, but career ender in the sense of this is probably the end of him being a healthy, productive player and he'll be on the way out soon. I don't think he'll get another contract in 2027.

 

[olli]

This sucks for the stars, he was off to a great start on their best line with Duchene and Marchment. Hope they can spend that LTIR money on a top C and top D.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Hasn't he had other hip/leg surgeries in the past? Man that's rough.

He hasn't been fully healthy in years. Always has had something going on, it's why his skating got so bad. He adjusted his game pretty well though, I imagine he will do the same this time too

damn

 

[serp]

He played through a torn labrum in his hip during the bubble finals run and had it surgically repaired afterwards. Missed most the following year and it took pretty much a full year for him to have his play be fully recovered

Plenty of things to be critical of Seguin for but that dude played through some painful shit in the last couple of seasons.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

That stinks he was having a great year too

 

[tantalum]

This is his second one I believe. He had the surgery before and was at the 6 month side of things (Pastrnak and Kucherov were close to the minimum the same year...and I'm not trying to open up that can of worms but there is NO WAY Kucherov was sitting for weeks and weeks able to play in a game. Not possible with that surgery. It's also a surgery you don't want to get unless you have to.)

32 years old (33 next month)...honestly a reasonably good chance this effectively ends his career. He'll be out 6 months but it takes ~18 months to actually fully recover from the surgery. So we're talking 34+ years old at that point. Source: my Mayo clinic/Minnesota trained surgeon who did mine. I was back on the ice in 5 months but not "right" for well over a year. Good news is the surgery works! I haven't had pain (beyond recovery pain) since that day. I went nearly 15 years with at times crippling back pain to have it be my hip!

I think Kucherov 100% strategically timed his surgery. It's why he waited until December to have a surgery he knew he was going to need in September after the bubble.

If you're gonna have to get it, might as well help your team by allowing them to keep (and add to) most of the roster that just won the Cup. It's not like you're not getting paid for it.

Dallas could now add multiple pieces like Granlund and Andersson and possibly get Seguin back for the playoffs.

 

[The Nuge]

Isn’t that the injury it was speculated, back when he was getting drafted, that would flare up later in his career?

 

[banks]

Brutal for Seguin, and pretty lousy for the Stars.

That's a team with Cup hopes. I'm betting they'll be active to try and make use of the LTIR space. But I bet they'd prefer to not have lost Seguin.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

These are the types of operations you can return from after a few months but it may take a couple years to really get your jump back, if ever.

Yeah we'll see, only gets harder and harder as you age (turns 33 in a couple months) and the effect of the injuries compound on each other.

I could be surprised, I just wouldn't bet on a return to 0.7 PPG and playing in the vast majority of available games like 2021-22 through right now. Hip surgery is no joke.

Is Taylor Hall available?

Kucherov had the surgery on 28th of December and was playing in playoffs. Seguin has a 3 week head start compared to that.

I'm not a doctor - I dont actually have a clue what I'm talking about - but I wonder if a 27 year old can recover quicker than a 33 year old
