I wonder if it's a situation like Nathan Horton, where his back surgery would effectively spell the end of his career in the NHL as he would never have the flexibility necessary to play at a high level.
For a guy like Zetterberg who loves the game, he may want to sit out a year and hope he can recover without surgery than risk never being able to play again.
