Yeah. Usually takes a full year with lots of strength training. Look at Seguin. He even said his leg strength this year was poor. With that he still had 49 points plus 4 in the playoffs.
Just saying to think he'll be on ltir and then retire is ridiculous.
Professional athletes are now continuing to play after artificial hips (which Monahan didn't get). A couple of NBA players, tennis player Andy Murray, Ed Jovanovski, professional wrestlers.
