Jack Hughes' play through an injury-riddled 2023-24 said plenty about him as a player and his character.
Are there comparables for high-end offensive players coming back from offseason shoulder surgery?
Cole Caufield isn’t as high end as Jack obviously, but he’s been pretty good this season. Almost 300 shots on goal and 25 goals and 60+ points.
Thanks, any examples of guys who came back significantly worse? Would imagine it's a bigger struggle for older players who had labrum surgery
I’m sure there are, but I’d have to look pretty deep into that. I don’t know any off the top of my head haha. Would make for a good article later in the summer once FA dies down, so I’ll keep it on the back burner
