MMA fighters who are put in neck choke holds, get punched in the head and body repeatedly and get body slammed have had that surgery.

football and rugby players have had that surgery


Eichel will be good.
- ImThatGuy

He probably will, but you don't know that. Jesus a Russian Figure Skater had it done and did a jump and spin and when he landed his ADR popped out, he doesn't skate anymore.

Did she have fusion?
- ImThatGuy

Started with a microdiscectomy and went for a disc replacement but the discs were too big for her spinal cord so she had to get a fusion

Tuch mad.

Both teams want to go to OT.

If said medical issues prevent them from doing their job, yes I am allowed to discuss it.

If I discussed that person's medical history to discriminate against them, then it is a different discussion
- Stripes77

NO. YOU. ARE. NOT.

You are NOT allowed to suggest a person's unknown medical condition is preventing them from doing their job. That LITERALLY IS DISCRIMINATION.

off topic but if the Sabres were offered Tyler Johnson for cheap, would you take him
- ImThatGuy

pass

we need quality not quantity

Tell that to Eichel, who himself said it was no big deal and was out to dinner the same day.
- sbroads24

Because his went well, it means it wasn't a big deal?

Got it

Not going to read it, but there is a section in the CBA covering medical information.

Where the hell did I say unknown?

Stop reaching, stop putting words in my mouth of things I NEVER said.

Define cheap. How much salary? Remember the Sabres are paying zero dollars of Jack's $10 per. TJ is a center and has been good in this league, but he's a total crap shoot right now and he's 31. Probably not for anything I consider an asset.

Starting to look more like Sabres hockey.
- lulags

anyone really think the sabres will win?

Tyler Johnson had the same exact surgery a week or two later and is expected to be back in three months.

I will take whatever is behind the curtain or in the box over johnson


he was a good player in his prime though

When fusion goes wrong, it goes drastically wrong, unfortunately.

not saying anything for your wife or anything, just ive heard horror stories about fusion and how antiquated it is.

I think Dahlin's passing is top 5 in the league.

I am not talking about his bonehead plays but his actual tape to tape passing.

TB had to give a second and take on a dead contract to move him. So what are we talking here?

t was more in jest, Tyler Johnson had the same exact surgery as Eichel a week later.

no room in the top 9 for him next year IMO

Eichel must have had more complex surgery, because he won't be back until the first game of the playoffs.

I think the doctors said his condition was complicated by a severe case of Kucherovitis.

- ImThatGuy

Gotcha, I would take TJ and a second for nothing if that was a thing to be offered.

Gosh. We suck at OT every time.

dont put skinner out there

no matter what

Where the hell did I say unknown?

- Stripes77

Dude. You are not allowed to discuss a co-worker's medical conditions. It's plain and simple. It's unknown because you aren't supposed to know about it.

If you are in management, you are NOT allowed to disclose a employee's medical condition to ANYONE, and you certainly are not allowed to suggest a person's medical condition prevents them from doing their job.

If an injury happens at work, that is about the only situation where you can suggest the injury prevents them from doing their job. But that's an INJURY. Not a MEDICAL CONDITION.

No one is reaching here dude. Federal Law protects an employee's medical conditions from being disclosed, and if you go talking about it, you will get sued.

And professional athlete's are complete morons for not negotiating that into the CBA of their leagues. They literally waive Federal protections.

There is no way to argue against this.

- homiedclown

Probably not, but a guy who knows how to win, might not be a bad thing. Salary won't hurt us, and he can play anywhere if I'm not mistaken. Better than playing an AHLer.

- ImThatGuy

Fusions completely prevent motion, I completely understand why Eichel wanted the replacement.

There is a lot that can wrong with either option
