I wonder if the new CBA will be revised to not "punish" teams who have players who have endured career ending injuries. A guy like Lappy would have loved to continue to play, but couldn't. Yet he counts against the 50 contract limit, I believe, which is stupid.

With the sensitivity involving concussions, I would think the CBA would reflect some type of modification for players with career ending concussions.

It's really not stupid. 50 contracts is more then enough to work around that. If a player is injured and is going to get paid, then the contract has to count.

Respect your opinion, just don't agree with it because I think head trauma should be treated differently than a knee injury, I just don't think it is appropriate to broad brush concussions with other injuries, just my opinion which isn't even worth 2 cents.

I hear what your saying. But I don't think the League can treat a Concussion any differently then another injury in terms of the CBA and contract limits.

This is bs. I will defer to holmgren when It comes to injuries. Holmer said he looked a lot better just before he went on IR. They need to put a gag order on the big guy

You're probably correct, I'm sure Fehr has other issues to agitate Bettman with during the negotiations.

Why do they need to put a gag order on him, and why is it BS?

I am in love with the idea that players talking is a bad thing.

Bad:
Pronger talking about his status
Bryz talking about anything

Good (AKA not talking to the media):
Bob, whose lack of talking to the media is why he's playing so well (per a conversation on WIP just last night)

They're too busy killing Bryz for that.

I believe it's club policy that any injury related questions or concerns be directed to Holmgren

Going back to the league's 15 most overrated players.

Who are the most underrated and who's at par to being what they actually should be?

No, that would be Lava's pat answer to all injury questions.

Well you have a few good local choices, how did you settle on this one?

Easiest to fit into a gerund, IMO. Also, he had potential to not be like Crankydi or Dramaccio. He looked geared to move into ASF territory until the Dumbkos "offer sheet" BS.

LOL, a player can say how he's feeling and what's going on.

Hey Peanut

Speaking of the Flyers, I'm sure hoping for some excitement tonight. These past 2 games have been snooze fests. Canes 2-1, Isanders 3-2. We won but BORING!
