Dr. Rick Lehman, a medical director for the U.S. Center for Sports Medicine, explains the surgery Krug will have. Lehman called the surgery a “Hail Mary” and said the odds of Krug playing in the NHL again are about 30 percent.

1. Damn, fusing bones and bone graphs all sound nasty. Stick taps for a quick recovery and I hope Krug can at the bare minimum get back to being pain free doing normal life events.

2. This is a really shitty situation for Krug and I feel bad for him. You can obviously tell he doesn’t want this to be the end and that he still really wants to play. I’ve never liked his contract but that’s not his fault. I’ve never questioned his commitment level once. He’s gave his all here. At this point I just want him to be able to play with his kids

3. Geez, that sounds intense.
