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.

so what's the argument here? Do you think Tampa told him to wait with the surgery until the start of the regular season? "Sorry Nikita, we know you want to play hockey, but please think of our cap situation"?!
