As it sits right now he is skating and working out, his agent is quoted as saying....
“He has done some high-heart rate stuff and he’s hoping to get back on the ice soon and be strengthened. I don’t know about that (migraine) stuff and I don’t think anybody knows. Let’s put it this way: I think he’d call me if something went sideways.” “He has been training and skating all summer,”
That sounds to me like there is a good chance that he will be trying to play games this year. Can't put yourself into full out LTIR if that's a possibility. Besides that there is also the problem of having a full roster. As it sits right now Rodrigues would be on the 4th line. Not the right fit unless we move other forwards.
