We need this guy back and ready to go if we want a legit shot at contending. Our lineup looks way better with him centering the 2nd line than either having JJ there or moving Zubs/Elias into that spot.
It's going to be a tough call. You dont want to rush him but if you dont start well in a short season it will be a lot harder to make up ground than in '95 because of the 3 point games.
