I liked Hayden's game down low in the corners, below the goal line, he protects the puck well, has good edge work and tight turns to create some time and space for himself. He's better than Murray IMO.
These types of offenses won't go away unless the punishment is severe enough. A lifetime ban from pro-sports will send the correct message that there is zero tolerance for these types of gestures. Once is too many, by giving the guy a slap on the wrist you're basically saying that once is OK.... just don't do it again. That's not good enough.
Sure, but that could happen with any organic disc as well. Failure of the AD doesn't necessarily mean paralysis.
Just because it violates the CBA doesn't mean the Sabres must void his contract, what part of that don't you understand?
If the ADR is successful there's only a very slim chance the disc fails at some point in the future.... and if it does, then he simply has the fusion surgery and he's good to go. So there's no reason for the Sabres immediately to void his contract the moment he decides to have the ADR. If allowing him to play increases his trade value, then they will clear him.
pump the brakes kid... he just as likely could be the next Andrey Makarov.
that said, yeah, it's nice to have some goalies in the stable, but they're probably the most difficult position to forecast
Your lack of a substantive response is telling.
Look at this way... the only way KA gets anything close to his desired return for him is if he's healthy. If Jack goes rogue and gets the ADR and it's successful, it benefits the Sabres if their doctors examine him and declare him healthy. What does Buffalo gain by voiding his contract at that point? If the surgery is a success, they have everything to gain if he passes a physical, and nothing if he fails it.
Yes. They will. Because if they don't, then it would be a tacit admission that they don't feel he's healthy enough to play again.
If Jack gets the ADR surgery, his contract will be terminated only if the team doctors determine the procedure was a failure.
