    Default Brassard out 4-5 months for shoulder surgery

    http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hock...ulder-surgery/

    Just curious on how this surgery may affect a centerman like Brassard?
    i know he's not the sexiest name in fantasy hockey but he does have sneaky good value in my league, a 50pt centerman that can get ~650 fw and ~100 hits

    5months takes him to October... might hurt first month, scare some people away in one year leagues if he misses pre-season. Maybe a slow Oct? Other than that, I figure he'll be better offensively next year, has to be right?

    He’s going to be coming back when everyone has months on him, likely won’t be up to speed until early December.

    Isn't Brassard normally a slow starter? This could mean he won't start really feeling it until the new year, January 2018.

    Will likely affect the FWs too. Possibly both mentally and physically.

    LOL! Good call Bottlenecker

    I was planning on shopping him in my keeper league in sig. rather than just dropping him, but that window is pretty much closed now.

    Hope he recovers fully though!
