The situation with 24-year-old blueliner Jyrki Jokipakka, acquired from Dallas in the Kris Russell trade, is the most significant. But he should be OK or close to it, by the time training camp begins in September.

"He got a procedure done at the end of the year on his hip and everything went well," said Treliving. "I'm not expecting there to be an impact on the season but we'll see where he is later in the summer and if that means maybe he starts training camp a little bit slower than the others."

Also on the blueline, Treliving says veteran Dennis Wideman has fully recovered from his triceps injury that ended his season in mid-March. No surgery was needed, he only needed therapy.

Up front, Sean Monahan banged up his shoulder in the final game of the season in Minnesota. But it was only a minor injury.

"There was no surgical intervention or anything like that. If we had played some more games, he would have been questionable for those but he's back to full speed," said Treliving.


In net, goaltending prospect Jon Gillies has also fully recovered from hip surgery that ended his season in early November. After rehabbing in Calgary until the end of the regular season and then continuing his rehab back home, now he's in regular summer training mode.

"He'll come back prior to development camp, spend more time here, but he's right on track. The whole plan once we finally made the determination to have the surgery when we did is to have him ready, so he gets a full summer of training under his belt. so we're not rehabbing in the summer. Our plan is for him to be full-go for development camp."

Article also says Ramo might not be ready until late october.
