BREAKING: Ex-Edmonton Oiler Reveals Worst Case News and Will Be Out Until Christmas
The Vancouver Canucks and defenseman Ethan Bear have reached a decision regarding his shoulder injury sustained during the 2023 IIHF Men's World Championships.
Following successful surgery, Bear is expected to be sidelined for six months, confirmed by the Canucks.
This timetable positions him to make his season debut in the 2023-24 NHL season before the Christmas break, likely missing around the first 30 games.
As a pending restricted free agent, Bear is currently without a contract for next year.
In his debut season with the Canucks, Bear showcased his abilities with 16 points in 61 games and emerged as a potential top-four defenseman. His absence at the start of the upcoming season will be felt as Vancouver looks to solidify its defensive lineup.
