Honestly not a terrible decision. It sounds like even if he went ahead and did the surgery to try to salvage the finger it might not have given him full function of that digit. Why keep the finger if it's not even going to be usable?

Lacking full function doesn’t mean it’s not usable. Just not as usable.

Also, “might not”, so that prognosis was also “it might” (probably less than likely.)

I'm a doctor and I can assure you that "from the knuckle up" means all that's left of him is the tip of a finger, which will be shit at hockey
