IHM Discussion
Grossmann has been out since March with shoulder problems and is now set for another operation. Biel will need to manage without him until there is further clarity on his recovery.
His 43 regular-season appearances last season show that he was a regular part of Biel’s defensive group, despite a modest return of one goal and six assists. The timing of any return remains unclear.
Why It Matters
Grossmann’s absence leaves Biel without an experienced defenceman who appeared in 43 regular-season games last season. The operation means the club cannot count on him while he recovers, with the duration of his absence still unclear.
