Out of respect for our new franchise player, I have been trying to learn a bit of German.
This is not how I was hoping to put it into practice- Tim Stützle hat sich im training am Arm verletzt.
Some are calling the reports unconfirmed but Manheim’s official twitter account feels like a pretty good source.
Based on the translation, it sounds like Stützle hurt his arm training and will miss the next six to eight weeks. It’s an injury that will require surgery.
Tough start. While unfortunate, the good news here is he’s not really going to miss much.
He obviously would have been ramping up his training now in anticipation of a new season but the eight week recovery gives him plenty of time to be back to 100% in time for the start of a training camp in Ottawa, or in Germany or the World Juniors, depending on what path he ends up taking.
Here’s to a speedy recovery. I’ll be watching this for the next six to eight weeks.
