John Tortorella provides update on Ryan Ellis and his potential return
It was known in July that Ryan Ellis would be in rehab for the complex injury, he suffered in the pelvic region. The last update didn't include a timetable for his return and it sounds like that hasn't changed according to John Tortorella.
Back in April, Ellis told the media that he'd be ready in time for training camp, but it looks like just rest and rehab wouldn't be the way to recover from this.
"I've had several conversations with Ryan Ellis as far as how he's doing," Tortorella said , "That's been an up and down process for him. He's doing everything he possibly can to get ready for camp, [but] I'm doubtful that's going to happen."
To fill in Ellis's spot, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Tony DeAngelo, no doubt an overpay, at $10 million for 2 years.
Add another casualty of Ellis' injury is the Flyers' cap situation, as Chuck Fletcher solves it with crazy glue.
Ellis, spent the majority of his NHL career in Nashville, playing on the 2016-2017 team who went to the Stanley Cup Finals.
He's played in 566 NHL games and put up 255 total career points.
