Kyle would've been fine if it weren't for the head shots. I don't count that as the best call tbh.

Gardiner has been healthy for his career other than one season. What are you basing the claims about his back being a serious concern from?
- RhinoFan

It’s Gerbe, that is all.

You are a hockey GM, scout and physician? I am truly impressed.

He’s 28 and would’ve been one of the top free agents signed the night before free agency tell me why was he not signed but Myers was signed ? I’ll tell you why because GMS are scared to death about his back

Maybe he is not taking just the first big money offer. Maybe he is researching each city and team. Maybe he is taking his time about where he wants to spend the next 7 years of his life.

-This is the same team that let Kyle Go on the ice when he was a suicide risk and his brain was all (frank)ed up

- then they let him go on a plane when he had a concussion


- same team that let Jack Eichel decide when he wanted to play when they did not want to shut him down


Do I have to continue

What's wrong with Boyle, Marc Jo and other's backs then?

I think you gotta back this one up Gerbs. You either got an article stating that his back is a major concern or it's speculation at best my friend.

He could simply be thinking about where he wants to spend the rest of his career...

It’s also been heavily reported that he wants to Stay in toronto and is keep open communication with them through this entire process.

But that also probably has nothing to do with it.

They are not top free agents Gardner was the 2nd best d after EK but teams Probably know he has to get back surgery someday

Marcus Johansson is a solid free agent.

Gardiner, it sounds like, wants money and term. There's no reason to suspect from the quote you posted that his back is falling apart and beyond repair as you're indicating.

Need Proof Gerbs! PWOOF!

Or he's taking his time with offers. There's also that idea. But what do I know, I support a bum prospect.

Could. Never know. We can only guess for the most part...

But if Marner left they'd have some spare change to throw around, so I guess.

Steven Stamkos back must have also been effed up.

John Tavares back must have also been effed up.

Wrong. Just because it isn't needed at this time doesn't mean he even has to have it by the end of his career. Many players have surgeries after they leave the league. I know for a fact Luongo just went under the knife as an example.

What you need is someone who confirms that Gardiner's back is going to make him miss considerable time. Then you have a point. Without that, I will leave to our medical professionals. Doesn't that make sense?

Just arguing about a player. I too am not sold that the Sabres would do something like this and after tracing the twitter rumors it came from a guy with less followers than I have...

I doubt it as well, but this is the summer, time for ridiculous rumor talk if there is ever room for any.

Im happy for him haha

Do you have a source for everything or are you that arrogant that your opinion is gold?

I will hang up and listen.
