Did I hear Mike O'Shea's comments correctly

Schoen was on the sidelines today.

Thanks for the update.

What gear did he have?  Brace, cast, crutches, whatever?  Nothing?

Only saw him from the waist up.  He appeared to be wearing casual.

Success rate of acl surgery varies depending on the source you trust but 10%, or maybe 5% if done and rehabbed expertly, fail.  This surprised me. A year off will be needed I am sure. That means the whole of 2026.

Ya, the timing isn't great for Schoen.  Sometimes they take only 9-12 months, meaning he could be back by maybe July next season.  But maybe rushing back too soon last time is what caused this re-injury?

Did we get him for 2yr, meaning we have him for '26?  So do we cut him in off-season?  A bit harsh, but, even if SMS-relieved, it's still wasted real money.  Plus, we'd have to make sure he doesn't get any winter bonus.  Everything has to be structured to be 6GIR-relieved.
