Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon, stating that recovery is expected to take about five-to-six months. Hall should be ready for next season.
“I injured it in Junior and it’s been wearing away,” Hall said. “I’ve been playing with a pretty bad shoulder for most of this year and I’m excited to see what I can do after it’s fixed. It’s not the way I envisioned my career starting, but I hope to stay healthy after this and stay a good Oiler for a long time.”
Hall wraps up his sophomore season with 27 goals and 26 assists in 53 games played.
