Bingo! We have a winner.
Wall will sit out 41 games minimum. Which means he'll probably back near the end of January.
Now THAT makes plenty of sense to me, even if Wall is sort of ready to play right now. It will ensure the tank. It will save Ted $20M, and it gives Wall a few extra months to heal just to be sure that there are no issues.
