disc replacement is common here. I'm not a world class athlete but my recovery went well

I was terrified before going in

https://www.roushspine.com/alif-anterior-lumbar-interbody-fusion.html This is what I had done

I don't know too much....just what I had...a synthetic disc installed in lower spine. It's called ALIF and been around a long time

disc replacement is not alternative surgery. I had one in my lower spine. it is more common than you think....if this is the issue. I don't know for sure....just what I read

He suffered a rib injury working out before the season started

How did he not know Eichel was hurt?

it will be the usual.....we're going to do what's best for the team...we're committed to improving the roster and will do whatever is necessary.......

So the fans will decide if Eichel gets traded? Right, no one will want Eichel. Good call

I waited till the pain was too much to even walk but then again I'm not a pro athlete, so I see both sides. If it's replacement then it's a serious operation.

we don't know the severity of the herniation to form an opinion but those involved should know

Do they...or their own interests?

A spine surgeon needs to make this call. Get 2 opinions. I had a herniated disc for many years in lower spine until pain was too much and had the disc replaced. Rest and rehab will help but the disc will probably get worse over time and eventually surgery would be necessary

probably raise prices to keep revenue sharing

good point

Yeah, not a great look or situation

and the rest of the league will watch how it's handled. Going to have a tough time trying to convince FAs to come when everyone wants out

it's not as simple as contract/payment when talking about sport teams

or it is and we just stay there

we have finished last 4 of the past 8 years. How many times do we need to hit rock bottom?

there's nothing comforting about this. Eichel, Reinhart, Risto and Ullmark want to leave and we have an inexperienced GM and pretty much absentee owners in charge.

What a mess. No one wants to play here. Can we bring back Seymour, Norty and Punch?

so do I

I see that but player health and safety should be first

he sounds happy. How the hell is he not getting surgery?
