Makes me wonder how he managed to pass the Rockets' physical before their camp. But anyway, he will be having surgery on the knee and will be lost to the team for 4 to 6 months following the surgery. Assuming he goes under the knife right away, that puts his return date at around mid January to mid March. So, he is definitely lost to the team for the first two-thirds of the regular season or thereabouts, and possibly right into the playoffs if it takes the full six months.
A tough hit for the team, as I am sure they were counting on him to build off his good playoffs and become one of the go-to forwards this year, replacing some of the big names they have lost.

Birch was re-assigned for the Tigers to SJHL...as of Sunday morning according to the Tigers...leaving them with 20 year old Holfeld and 17 year old Bunz...four 20's still on the roster...
For the Blades you can scratch Zane Morin and Matthew Krahn
