Unlikely. Oilers are unlikely to be in the playoff hunt come the end of the year, so why would Hemsky rush to get back. He's better off just sitting it out and coming back completely ready to go next year.
Should I stash him on the IR or just let him rot in free agency? If there's any chance he comes back, even for the very last week, then I'll add him.

I agree in a one year league he certainly isn't worth the spot unless you have absolutely no other need for it - I doubt he will be back and if he does make it back I really don't think he will be all that effective after such a layoff.
I have him in a keeper league and pretty much resigned to next year country with him.
