Wranglers' Zary faces uncertain future after surgery
31 Oct
Summary
- Connor Zary underwent successful knee surgery, now week-to-week.
- Zary has a history of knee injuries impacting development.
- His long-term future with the Flames organization is uncertain.
Calgary Wranglers forward Connor Zary has successfully undergone knee surgery and is currently considered week-to-week. This latest procedure adds to a challenging season for Zary, who previously played limited games with the Calgary Flames before being assigned to the AHL's Wranglers.
Zary has recorded one goal and four points in six games with the Wranglers this season, though he has missed their last two contests. Selected 24th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft, his development has been hampered by a history of knee injuries dating back two seasons.
The successful surgery brings a temporary relief, but another prolonged recovery period casts doubt on Zary's potential to regain his form and become a reliable NHL player. His contract remains with the Flames organization, but his future in Calgary is now uncertain, with a healthy return potentially making him a trade candidate.
