If he was traded for right now and proceeded with surgery/recovery plan ASAP it should put him into potentially coming back to play most likely sometime at or just before playoffs much like Kucherov/Tampa last year.
Edit: Vinny nailed it, even more reg season time than I thought would be possible if we acquired him this week.
