“No official update on Jack Hughes, but word is that, thankfully, a worst-case scenario has been avoided. Will miss some time, but not as bad as it could have been.”

I guess not a broken collarbone but could still be out like 4-6 weeks or something
This is incredibly vague still
Fine. Let’s get this out of the way now.
So my guess is shoulder is okay, concussion not so fine.
But it’s so vague who tf actually knows
Get some rest Jack, we’ll need your best later
Wow glad its just an upper body injury
are fans still pretending its a shoulder/collar injury and not a head injury?
Feels like a truly meaningless update since we don’t know what the fear was. Does this mean it’s not a broken collarbone? Or were they worried about a season or possibly career ending concussion? Has he not badly reaggravated his shoulder? I don’t know what we’re supposed to take away from this at all.
Scale of worst case scenario from highest to lowest:
1. Career ending
2. Miss entire season
3. Miss regular season
4. Miss 1/2 the games
5. Miss about 2 weeks
If I had to imagine someone probably told Friedman, “Well it’s not as bad as we were thinking it might be.” That’s probably all that they were willing to divulge.
and… unclench on 3… 2… 1… 💨
Did anyone see the hit he took on the very next shift? Is there a clip of it?
😮💨 speedy recovery, kid.
That’s so vague, it could mean anything from “he’ll be back in two weeks and he’s concussed” to “he’s out 5 months and you’re probably missing the playoffs but at least he can still play hockey”
I just worry that this winds up being an Aaron Judge situation where the team gets exposed without him
100 hundred percent minor concussion. Might of hurt shoulder a bit but likely nothing serious
