This Wednesday morning, TVA Sports published an exclusive interview with surgeon Peter J. Millett, who operated on CH number 22. We learn that contrary to what was announced in the media, Caufield did not have a shoulder separation. He did, however, have at least one dislocation and two cases of "instability".
A very interesting revelation:
According to what Dr. Millett reports, the operation indeed went very well. He also wanted to reassure fans and mentioned that he will indeed be present at the next training camp.
Really interesting!
The experienced surgeon, who incidentally performed shoulder surgery on Josh Anderson and Vladimir Tarasenko, admitted that Cole absolutely did not want the surgery. He managed to convince him by explaining the long-term benefits of the procedure.
Caufield, it will be recalled, confessed just prior to surgery that the organization had confiscated his sticks and skates. The surgeon says it's torture for his patient and he has to hold it back or he'd already be on the ice.
Recent photos on social networks show that the CH forward continues his recovery with his family in Wisconsin. He seems to be in a very good mood, as shown in the pictures below:
Before going under the knife, Caufield was having the season of his career. He had 26 goals and 36 points in 46 games this season. Let's hope he picks up where he left off next season!
