The fact he wasn’t held out since end of February, when the season was over is insane.

Was pretty clear the way he fell in that Chicago game that he pulled his shoulder out of the socket after separating it earlier in the year.

Another weird statement like him leaving the all star weekend early.

here’s hoping he comes back stronger.

Hope they give like him like a big jacked arm

With us having a good chance to get eliminated tonight there was no reason to keep playing him. Says he’s expected to be ready for training camp so that’s nice.

Based on this news, is it a reinjury? Did the first surgery not work? Other shoulder separate injury?

I saw this announcement coming. Get better soon, Jack!

There’s pride, and there’s medical ineptitude. I get Jack wanting to play, but if this has been a lingering issue (it has) you need to protect the player from himself.

Fucking knew it. This should have happened months ago
FARTING_1N_REVERSE
This is just so God damn frustrating, anyone who let him dress up and get on the ice should call their careers into question.
We don’t just need Jack, we need Jack at 100%, why the hell even risk dressing and icing him to not only re-aggravate the injury but risk even further harm?
Edit: I don’t understand how any fan in their right mind can downvote this, this isn’t the first time this season that the medical staff has made questionable decisions.

Hope all goes well and he will come back better than ever and kill it next year!

Fucking assholes, kept playing him hurt

Is this the same shoulder he injured early in his career. That might have been collar bone, I forget. But he was checked into the boards and somehow found himself ass over teakettle and landed hard on the shoulder.
Same one, same side? Anyone know?

I’m sorry but I’m done with the medical staff. So many head scratching decisions this year. This shits important and if we want these guys to stick around and stay healthy something’s gotta give.

This is puzzling. I get wanting to play him when you still have a shot at playoffs, but the season was officially cooked after the 3 straight recent losses to Buffalo, Pittsburgh (this one was really the nail in the coffin) and NYR. Why the fuck was Jack in the last 2 games.
I just want to be clear about the broader picture and shutting him down even earlier than that. Anyone could’ve told you this team wouldn’t make it that far even if they did manage to barely make it to the playoffs. That’s been 100% clear ever since the stretch where Nico and Jack were hurt at the same time.
Idk all the details but I hope Fitz didn’t have a major say in all this because he should know better as a former player

Kudos to Jack for holding out for so long, really hope all goes well for him

Oh jacky :(( praying for the fucking fastest recovery ever for him. My heart hurts deadass bc I can SEE how much he loves the sport

Hey doc feel free to be generous with the titanium

It’s pretty clear a lot of you have no idea what these guys play through. It was obviously something that wasn’t made worse by playing, but it would just eventually need repair.

Like I’ve said numerous times. The medical staff and Fitz need to be reevaluated. Your franchise player was in no condition to play yet they kept throwing him out there. At some point you need to step up and say “you’re out until you’re 100%”. Happened with the injury in St Louis and now with this issue. Unacceptable.

Makes sense…I guess

This is legitimately the most painful, unrelentingly brutal to suffer through sports season I’ve ever endured as a fan. Let alone Devils seasons.

I think people worried about the medical staff because of Blackwood shouldn’t worry here. If there was any risk to Jack long term he would have been shut down like they did before. He’s the face of the franchise and I don’t think they’d ever be looking to jeopardize him to win some meaningless games. They held him out of practices, had maintenance days and all sorts of stuff in the recent weeks. Hopefully he gets a good rehab and can put these issues behind him
LaHondaSkyline
Sooooo many here are sure they know everything and Hughes injury and that the Devils are idiots for making/allowing him to play.
Never imagined that so many here are orthopedic surgeons AND have inside access to the Devils clubhouse….

I want the entire coaching and medical staff fucking gone

Medical staff, front office and coaching staff are jokes

I keep getting downvoted to hell here for saying someone should’ve intervened and benched jack a while ago. Regardless it doesn’t rlly matter does it. What’s done is done and let’s just all hope surgery is successful and he has the smoothest fastest recovery
