I'm pretty sure Pelletier's 20 something body will heal and recover significantly quicker than my 40 something body though.

Yeah that sounds about right. I broke my collarbone when i was 8 or 9 years old at the beginning of the summer. , i remember the pain being excruciating and like the other poster mentioned, sleeping was quite difficult. That said, it healed over the summer and i didnt even miss hockey tryouts in the fall.
I seperated my shoulder when i was 18, missed the rest of the year and was back for my next hockey season, I remember dealing with pain for quite some time but i was pretty functional after a few months again.
I've dislocated my shoulder twice, and as far as recovery, i'd say it was the longest and hardest by far. My first time, i took 9 months to heal and honestly i didnt wait long enough, and ended up dislocating it again the following season (beer league now, i'm getting old). The second time i dislocated, i was offered surgery and declined, decided to rehab again and gave it a full 14 months to tightnen up the ligaments. Havent dislocated since.
TLDR - id say the pain of the break was the worst and quicked recovery. Separation was less painful than the dislocation and shorter recovery, all around just better than a dislocation for me, which was a long recovery. If Pelletier has a break we should see him in the lineup this season.
