So they probably scheduled the surgery to align nicely with playoffs but he wasn’t just sitting at home healthy.
And hell if you can lose your leading point scorer and a top 10 player in the league for the whole season and still easily make the playoffs then good on you.

Its not as black and white as making the playoffs without your leading point scorer. Thay cap hit was used on other players. Those players weren't as good as Kucherov but they were able to use the cap savings to keep their core together.
