Jay Bouwmeester Undergoes Successful Surgery

February 14, 2020 at 10:36 am CDT | by Brian La Rose 5 Comments

Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester suffered a cardiac incident earlier in the week in a game against Anaheim which was ultimately postponed.  After undergoing some testing, the team announced that he has undergone a successful Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) procedure.  The procedure is done to restore the heart’s normal rhythm.

Presently, the 36-year-old remains in Anaheim but once he is cleared to be released, he is expected to fly back to St. Louis.  The team is expected to provide an update on his status at some point next week but clearly, there is no timetable for his return with the priority at the moment simply being to get healthy again.

Bouwmeester is currently on a one-year, $3.25MM contract (plus an additional $250K in bonuses, half of which have been met).  With his short-term playing future certainly in question, he seems like a strong candidate to be placed on LTIR which could have St. Louis in the market for extra defensive depth between now and the February 24th trade deadline.

    Exactly what I thought. Unfortunately his career is over. But he can still live a long and happy life.

      If it is over, it’s nice he gets to go out a champion.

    Glad to see the procedure went well for Jay. Thanks for over 1200 memories and you will always be a “plus” guy to us fans. Time for you to get healed and be there for family and friends. Thanks, Jay and Good Luck for the future!

    thou my heart surgery in June 2018 wasn’t the same procedure as I had coronary angioplasty for blocked arteries, and was down for six months so I can relate to some extent on heart surgery and glad his family , teammates , and GM are there for him and hope he has speedy recovery and get well soon Jay, the league and Blues will miss a stand up guy and great Defenseman.
