I didn't say the injury isn't legitimate. I said the timing is off. Surely, a rich millionaire in Russia could have gotten a surgery done over the past few months. Why wait until the start of the regular season? Did he not think the NHL was going to ever start up again.
Or did the hip issues just begin a week ago.
Either way, I don't buy for a second the timing of this surgery is purely coincidentally aligned with the start of a regular season when Tampa is completely screwed for cap space.
