Now you don't have to cry about that trade anymore. If anything we won by default.

We know this. From there is a crap shoot really. We don't know who is picking where because of the lottery/standings being tight. However...If you're at 7 or after, doesn't it really just come down to which of the four are left between tchachuk Chychrun Joelevi or nylander...?...I'd say that's an easy pick because it's made for you. Unless you are 10 and they're all gone (we could end up there)

Maybe TMGM knew about the chronic hip injury and that had something to do with the trade . They said he had been dealing with it for years.

Pleases change your Avatar . With Ford passing away this week the humor is gone.

Interesting. I gotta listen to it. Well here's back to hoping for that winning lottery ticket. Told God I'd quit gambling if we got McD. Big man knew what he was doing because Jack looks awesome on Hamburg Casino's TV.

And? He was shut down because the Jets suck. So he's having the surgeries he needs done with a couple extra weeks to rest.

Do you know how many players have surgery in the offseason to fix nagging ailments?

Didn't Kane have a nagging shoulder injury when he decided to shut himself down and get surgery last year?

Good lord the things people say to try and make Murray look good are astounding

Get over yourself . Remember I was a Myers fan and railed against him being traded. If it was something that was bothering him for years . It might have been involved in Murray's decision making process . GM's do have access to all your medical reports . Just quit being such a richard. Did anyone badmouth him? I offered an opinion on the GM's thought process. And a hip condition with a 6 foot 8 inch hockey player can be a concern.

Are they 6 foot 8 inches tall ? It can be a bigger issue with a big man .

Benns injury happened last year . The article says this has been bothering Myers for years.

I wouldn't care if they did. I honestly just think it's funny how people are still trying to find ways after a year to justify this trade when a few of us got bashed for not liking it.

Now Murray made a savy move to get rid of a guy who's hip fell off a year later.....

All things have to be considered . No one said it was a savvy move. It might have been something that concerned him and could have been a factor. How do you know it wasn't ?

Read the Myers article . It says it had been bothering him for years.

Do you know if NHL players have to pass a physical after they are traded? I honestly do not know, so I was just wondering. Because it could be something that a GM knows about in deciding on trading a player.

I know in the NFL if a player fails his physical after a trade, the trade is reversed.


Edit: I think I remember Hard Hat ragging on Murray for taking the Winnipeg's GM word about Kane's shoulder being OK.

Could have been well enough a pass a physical with a chronic condition . I believe NHL players do have to pass a physical . No one called the Trade a savvy move. Just stated it could have been something in the back of Murray's head .

Murray said he had our Doctors totally review Kanes shoulder and surgery and felt confident in a full recovery after the trade.

Maybe the hip wasn't bad enough to fail a physical at the time but progressively got worse.

I don't know if they do to be honest. I would imagine injury related info has to be disclosed.

I doubt they could just trade a player and tell the other team the vague "Upper body injury" that they have to tell the media

I don't know it wasn't, but then trading FOR someone with a nagging shoulder injury that needed surgery isn't exactly much better.

Either way, as you know, tons of athletes have offseason surgeries every year. If the Jets were in a better spot, he'd be playing.

It says right in the article the article in order to start next season he has to have the knee surgery and rehab it before he has the hip surgery which takes months to heal. So I doubt very much he'd be playing right now.

If they were in the playoffs or close to it I would bet he is. Same with Enstrom who they shut down last week.

And yes I know they said Enstrom would still be getting the surgery done, but I don't buy it for a second

No one mentioned their playoff position . The surgery would have to be done no matter what position they were in . It was just a matter of when . No one knows how long the the hip has been an issue . The article said it had been bothering him for years. Murray had Buffalo doctors go over Kane before the Trade was made. As it was public knowledge. Tyler's hip condition was not. Murray had to know about it if it was bothering him for years . All that I stated was it might have been a factor in Murray's decision process . The only one that knows that for sure is Tim Murray.
