Renaud Lavoie reveals new details on why the Canadiens opted for surgery on Kaiden Guhle
The Kaiden Guhle situation is clearer now, but new details from Renaud Lavoie reveal why the Canadiens ultimately had to change their plan.
For several weeks now, as we know, Guhle's absence has created a huge gap on the Canadiens' blue line.
The Canadiens' official statement, published yesterday, already provided plenty of details.
We learned that the defenseman underwent groin muscle surgery in New York, performed by Dr. Mark Zoland.
From the start, the discussion was about an absence of roughly two months.
For a defensive group already shaky in recent days, this was a harsh blow.
But today, new details are shedding more light on the situation.
They come directly from Renaud Lavoie, who explained why surgery became unavoidable.
Here's what he wrote:
"Regarding Kaiden Guhle surgery. The Canadiens medical team initially pursued a conservative treatment plan. However, as his on-ice workload increased, it became clear to everyone that a surgical repair was necessary."

This explanation completes what we had already reported here yesterday.
Kaiden Guhle: between medical decisions and a very uncertain future
As we know, the Canadiens wanted to avoid major surgery, but clearly, the pain wasn't going away, so they had to act.
We now realize this wasn't just a minor injury.
For a young player who has dealt with so many injuries, the timing is terrible.
He loses even more rhythm, and it slows his development even further.
I feel like this situation is far from over, and the next games will show just how much the team misses Guhle...
