Wow, this is terrible news.
I guess this is what all of us hockey fiends get for wishing for more news from the hockey gods the last couple of weeks. I wish Juuso all the best with his recovery.
Does anyone know if this is the same knee he has had issues with in the past? I actually hope so, because getting surgery might be what he needs to kick the lingering issue once and for all. If it's an entirely new injury unrelated to the last, I will start getting a little bit concerned.
This is a great opportunity for Kylington- I certainly echo what many in here have already said and hope that he takes full advantage of it. This might actually be a godsend long term if Kylington comes in and really impresses- having to choose him or Vali for one remaining spot could have planted some seeds of doubt in the player or lead him to move on to find an easier opportunity, so this will at least let us really see what we have before having to make a choice.
