Steen underwent successful shoulder surgery Friday and he will be reevaluated in 16 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues released the official timetable of 16 weeks after Steen had his left shoulder operated on Friday at Washington University in St. Louis, which would put him on track to be evaluated in early October. With that time frame, in addition to the fact that he won't necessarily be cleared when he's reevaluated, there's no guarantee that Steen will be ready when the 2016-17 season gets underway. If Steen is still recovering when the season begins in October, Jaden Schwartz could start the year as the Blues' second line left winger.
