Shea Weber’s season timeline and grade poll

The 2017-18 season wasn’t a fun one for Shea Weber. On opening night he blocked a shot versus the Buffalo Sabres, and the impact caused a fracture. Normally trusted with around 25 minutes per night, he was reduced to time in the low 20s as he attempted to work through the pain, but in mid-December the decision was reached to shut him down for the remainder of the season.

Just pulling him from game action wasn’t enough to heal the injury, and surgery was opted for to correct the foot issue, and a minor one with his knee, once a dreadful campaign came to its conclusion.
