Jack will have surgery under another teams watch. the whole plan for his camp is to let other teams know he'll be ready for the season regardless of which procedure he chooses to do.

Both of these are spot on.

But that doesn't mean the Sabres HAVE to accept what buyers are putting in front of them.

Again, this is so remote it WON'T happen but I would love to see KA sit down with Jack in complete transparency and show him the value that was offered, why it was insufficient, and what may have led to it which I bolded in your comment. Tell him, I want to balance the equity here but here is what I need from you....

If you do something different you're only lowering your trade value more and making the situation worse...


Again, not going to happen but that would be great.

But, think about how Hasek did us dirty. Trade me or I retire. Don't ask for a return that hurts the other team or I'll retire. Jack can't afford to retire, but his success is based on going to as strong a team as possible. He doesn't want us to get market value

The chances of getting ill from the vaccine are <<<<<<<<<< than chances of getting very ill from covid 19. It's not even close.

You actually have a higher chance of getting a blood clot from covid than you do from getting it from the vaccine.

It's like saying there's a 5% risk to open heart surgery. But if you don't get the open heart surgery there's a 90% chance you will die. Would you actually not get the open heart surgery?

Well put. But I've given up trying to convince people/morons to get the Covid-19 vaccination. My new take is "OK, you know what ? DON'T get the shot. I no longer care if you're here on Earth or not".

Not necessarily.

If the Sabres are interested in picks and high end prospects that wouldn't hurt the team he was going to in its current window one would think.

I don't think he's going THAT far in his stance.

Well I can't say what Jack is going through or how bad it is. But I had neck fusion surgery done about 12yrs ago. I have 3 4 and 5 fused together and I am pretty good with it. But I will say I suffered through about a year of pain and agony before my doctor would approve Surgery and 3 months straight of a stiff neck. With what I have seen and heard about what Jack is doing a doctor would never say go ahead because there is a high risk of danger to the disc above and below of herniation or bulging.

Always hated that trade. You want to retire ? Fine. Retire. We hold your rites. Get back to us when you want to un-retire, but in no way are we ever trading you for Slava Kozlov and a 1st.

Why do you think infection rates in US are rising again? Canada was way behind US months ago. Now we are ahead. I hope the border stays closed another year so idiots like you don't bring more of the infection over the border.

I like my version better, but you very well could be more on point w this. I suppose it depends on who we trade him to.

You're the moron guy, thinking you're gonna save the world one vaccine at a time. Why don't you actually try and make a difference at a homeless shelter captain america.

For once Hank, I agree with your post! The agents are making it more and more improbable for Adams to deal his Franchise Centerman. It’s like these fools standing in as agents never went to business school! With Jack being young and clearly naive about this whole thing, by the time he actually matures and realizes the mistakes his “camp” has made, he will be on LTIL and any kind of “star value” will be gone. He will be just a drama Queen no team will want. Man if other players have this Peter & Peter agency, they better find someone new quick in case their career take as turn like Jacks! It’s weekly armature hour with these fools!
