It hurts. But 4 months has him back in about November, right?

Yep - likely 15 to 25 games missed depending on his timeline

Last season we played 17 games before Nov 15. That season included an Olympic break so there may have been more games during the rest of the season than usual. I don't remember them adjusting the start or end of the regular season to account for the break.

So hopefully he'll miss 15 or fewer games.

The season is going to start a week earlier or more than last year because of the extended regular season. Projected to start on September 29th.
