On Thursday morning the Capitals announced yet another player has had an off-season surgery.
Eric Fehr had surgery on his injured elbow June 3. You’ll recall Nicklas Backstrom underwent arthroscopic surgery on his hip on May 27. Here’s what the team said about F-16:
Eric Fehr underwent a successful surgery on his elbow on Wednesday. According to the doctors who performed the surgery, if rehabilitation goes well, Eric will be healthy for the start of the 2015-16 regular season.
Fehr missed almost a month of the 2014-2015 season, including 10 playoff games, due to an upper-body injury. He becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, and both Chris and Peter have suggested Frank might not return to the Caps next year.
In unrelated-but-maybe-possibly-related news, The Real House Life of Arlington (heh, I get it) reported today that Fehr has not renewed the lease on his Arlington condo.

Keep in mind that this may not mean anything about Fehr’s contract status – his landlord, former Capital defenseman Tom Poti, has been trying to sell the condo for a couple of years. Fehr and his family might just be looking to upgrade.
