News surfaced on Thursday that Jordan Staal has not quite recovered fully from the severed tendon injury he suffered in the playoffs last Spring, when he collided awkwardly with the Canadiens' PK Subban. Staal suffered the severed tendon in his foot and was only out of the line-up for two games before returning to action. The news article that was posted on Thursday had said that Staal would be visiting team doctors to have an idea what his timetable to return to the ice will be, since he has not been able to do any skating this Summer, thanks to this injury and the surgery he had to have to repair it.
Until there is a definitive word as to whether or not Staal will miss any of training camp or the start of the season, there isn't really any need to panic, unless you have already drafted your team and you are banking on Staal to be a big contributor this year. If you haven't drafted yet, you may want to flag Staal as a potential injury risk to start the season and check back with him closer to your draft date.
