Turn of events and surgery for Patrik Laine: Jean-Charles Lajoie has an idea if Montreal is eliminated
The Montreal Canadiens have avoided catastrophe, with Patrik Laine expected to be out for 2 to 3 months.
Given the circumstances, seeing him avoid surgery is excellent news, but I must admit I'm slightly concerned.
Patrik Laine is so eager to play for the Canadiens and to get back on the ice that he decided against surgery, which speaks volumes about his incredible desire to win.
You absolutely, absolutely can't blame him.
However, I can't help but have a small fear of seeing him return too quickly.
An operation for Patrik Laine if the Montreal Canadiens are eliminated from the playoffs? Jean-Charles Lajoie's idea
Laine decided not to undergo surgery, but many experts wonder if surgery will be necessary at some point, whether at the end of the season or at another time.
Jean-Charles Lajoie shared the idea on Twitter:
Don't be surprised if as soon as the Canadiens are eliminated, he (Laine) undergoes the surgery he refused this weekend

Patrik Laine operated on once the Canadiens are eliminated: JiC suggests the idea.
I truly believe that Laine will want to return to play mid-season, regardless of the Montreal Canadiens' results, especially considering that he only played 18 games last season. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see him undergo surgery as soon as the Canadiens have played their last game of the 2024-2025 season.
In short, it's an option to keep in mind.
