LabattBlue Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 This is BS if Torres was injured before the trade. Didn't they learn anything from the Dominic Moore fiasco? http://blogs.buffalonews.com/sabres/2010/03/torres-still-out.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 How exactly, do you propose the Sabres find out that he is injured before they make the trade, if it's an injury that he hasn't been disclosing or that hasn't been keeping him out of the game? It's not like we can say the day of the deadline that "hey, we're interested in this guy, let's send the medical staff down to look at him." Just the risk you take making deadline deals.

It's not rocket science. He arrives in Buffalo, they give him a physical and if he fails it, they send him back to Columbus and the Sabres keep their 2nd round pick and Paetsch.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought in hindsight it was reported that his wrist injury occurred while he was still a Leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the physical condition of a player traded for even reviewable? It seems a little silly that they would allow "backsies" on a finalized trade.

LabattBlue Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Is the physical condition of a player traded for even reviewable? I would hope so. In the NFL it is. The Bills traded McCargo to Indy during the 2008 season, the Colts flunked him after his physical and back to the Bills he came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Bills just sign some d-lineman who failed two physicals for other teams? Do the Bills and Sabres use the same doctors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the Sabres would love to have the Doctor that was instumental early on in enabling Kevin Everett to walk. From all accounts, the Bills have an excellent medical staff.

From all accounts, the Bills have an excellent medical staff. Yet they passed a player on his physical after that same player failed two previous physicals? To your point, is the doctor that thought fast to lower Everett's body temperature the same doctor conducting physicals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Relax people..... he was injured here... according to Raffi himself. http://www.wgr550.com/Torres-says-injury-happened-here/6659443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Andrew Cappuccino was Everett's doctor, and he passed Dwan Edwards on the physical with respect to his spinal cord injury, surgery and current spinal cord health.

shrader Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 So back to back hand/wrist injuries after joining this team. There's a joke about these guys rubbing off on their new team in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Torres said the injury took place post-trade while taking a shot in practice. Anyone else smell a rat? So first Lindy is playing coy about when Torres got hurt and now Torres comes out and says he got hurt after the trade. translated If he was hurt prior to the trade, it is clear the Sabres didn't catch it during a physical(if they gave him one?). If he was hurt after the trade and you are going on his word, they are stuck with him. All we can hope for is that he is healthy come playoff time because that 2nd round pick is long gone.
