First of all, he didn't perform the incorrect surgery, so I have no idea how that makes him anything. Secondly, there have been zero problems with the shoulder since it was correctly fixed. Thing the third, it was two separate injuries, no clue where you go three from. Finally, it's interesting how you carved five years specifically, seeing as how he was one of the most durable wingers in the entire league up until that point. So yeah, exactly none of these rationalizations = injury prone. That's simply not what it means, at all.
2 Separate Shoulder Surgeries + 1 Broken Hand = 3 Injuries total over the last 5 years.
Only 10 games played in 2020.
And only 24 games played in 2021.
Since 2020 he's played only 144 games. Even accounting for and during the two pandemic shortened seasons he only played 34 games during those two years.
He has missed a massive amount of time in the last 3 years, he absolutely qualifies as injury prone. And at age 30 he is a extremely high-risk candidate for further issues. Whether he can stay healthy enough to stay on the ice is a legitimate concern for any GM potentially looking at trading for him or signing him long-term.
