For the impatient, the truth:
"When it comes back online, if the detectors reach design sensitivity, it's sufficient to make detection of gravitational waves from neutron-star inspirals probable. As both LIGO and Virgo are down for upgrades, there's no chance of a major new detection from either until they're re-commissioned and running well (timescale of ~year+)."
Verdict on claim in title: "possible, if unlikely."
Thanks for the dose of truth.
