Rumours that have been flying around have now been confirmed. Both Tarik El-Bashir and Corey Masisak have reported that Michael Nylander will undergo surgery tomorrow for a torn left rotator cuff. Nylander had been taking days off between games to rest the shoulder as he played through the pain. Per Corey’s blog:
“He did a courageous job of trying to come back, but sometimes he didn’t have the strength in his arm to play like Michael Nylander,” [Coach Bruce] Boudreau said. “It is very, very sore so he is going to get it fixed.”
Tarik reports that Nylander will be out three to six months.

*sigh*
There go my hopes that someone (Colorado? Rangers?) would overpay for him at the trade deadline.
I guess where there’s smoke . . .
I’m more worried about what this means for the remainder of his contract than for the remainder of this season.
If we’re in the hunt at the trade deadline, I think George will get a rental to fill the void.
Yikes! Do you need to make it sound so gruesome! Poor guy!
