Not only that, but if he does come back it'll likely take him several games to get back into game shape. I'm sure he's probably been skating, but when you're out for that long, it takes a while to get back up to speed. Oilers are obviously betting on him being an instant goal scoring machine as soon as they insert him back into the lineup.
