I'll likely rank others ahead of Andersson as well though, as I too give him an asterisk now, but for me Gilles one is even bigger.

The team doesn't seem concerned about him missing the season. In fact they chose for him to have the surgery chose when they did because they felt a full off-season of conditioning was more beneficial for him than playing more games and rehabbing during the summer. Gillies has played through the injury for 2 years and likely would have played through the season. It's the same surgery Demko had last summer and the same Rinne had in 2013.
