babych Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I would not put any stock into this at all. This all about his agent making sure that the Canucks are aware that Kesler is "months away" from returning, and thus, needs to continue to be paid during the lockout. It looks good when something like this is reported to the media should someone from the Canucks decide that Kesler is in fact healthy and therefore, deserving of being locked out. I full expect that if there is an NHL season, Kesler will make a "miraculous" recovery and return much sooner if not immediately upon the start of training camp. Keep in mind, the timing of Kesler's surgery was also orchestrated by his agent as well. He waited a full two months after the playoffs ended to have surgery, thus ensuring that he would not be ready for the start of the season, and therefore would be able to be paid during the lockout. Kesler has also been very sure to not jeopardize his free pay day by showing up at charity events but playing non-contact roles like coach or referee. It certainly shows where Kesler's values are. It's all about getting paid, solidarity be damned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMacNamedDre Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 i think he's at least a month to 6 weeks away. heard last week that he was NOT close at all from returning and the rumors that he close just not true. rushing him back would be foolish. better to make sure he returns 100% healthy.

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He has been out for a unusually long time now. I'd just be happy if we get him back for the playoffs now, maybe a couple of weeks before for him to get into game shape. This team can make the playoffs without Kesler, but won't go very far without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
