I guess that's why he didn't get invited to World Jrs. camp?

Team Canada getting at least one excuse lined up

This guy is a world class talent from a world class heritage.

Get this done and out of the way early. There's no way he's going to skip a beat in training and discipline in recovery.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Wasn't he injured in training camp? Sounds like maybe something was nagging him until now.

[D as in David]

Flames can get him for cheap now that he is damaged goods.

Hip surgeries are always dicy. Wish Tij the best in his recovery.

For sure. Poor luck for the kid in his D+1 year.

Would still take love for Conroy to find a way to pry Tij away from Utah. Doubt Utah is dumb enough to trade him at a point though when his value might be perceived as lower due to this injury. Similar with Lindstrom. Both these players are losing significant development time from injuries but the smart move for their teams is to wait it out and be patient with their recovery and development. They are young and still have a good chance to reach their potential - although Lindstrom’s back injury was perceived as a serious red flag before he was drafted.

Since both these players are amongst the youngest in their draft class, it could almost be perceived as an injury in their draft year and they could have lots of runway to make up for the lost year with another season in Junior.

Kind of brutal to need hip surgery already at that age

[McG]

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

Craig, please accept all collect calls from Utah…but it has to happen now.

[Locke]

Come to Calgary Tij....we have the technology!

[CroFlames]

Can we please get this player
