2022/23 Roster Thread II: Worth Every Penny

[Beef Invictus]

Couldnt of had this surgery 6 weeks ago ???

Too busy making him play through it in a lost season.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This organization is absolutely cursed. I’ve never seen anything like it.

A curse of their own making. Why was he playing? There was no value to it.

 

[Appleyard]

I mean, ofc a chance that say Couturier especially could come in at same level as before... but usually with any injury takes some time to be back at 100%.

They'll be ready by playoff time, Alex. That is all that matters

on their next team ??

 

[TB87]

[Rebels57]

WELP.

Someone, anyone, explain why this wasnt done over a month ago?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Don't confuse Incompetent with Cursed,

 

[Rebels57]

WELP.

Apparently this is the surgery Eichel had?

Jesus.

 

[Curufinwe]

No sane person rushes into any kind of back or neck surgery.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Don't confuse Incompetent with Cursed,

Their seemingly unending run of serious injury problems has nothing to do with competence and everything to do with an incredible amount of awful luck.

Their seemingly unending run of serious injury problems has nothing to do with competence and everything to do with an incredible amount of awful luck.

It's been a disturbing pattern of guys being brought back too soon only to get re-injured again. Supposedly CF was going to be "looking into it," but nothing has been done about it. This franchise is a dumpster fire.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Another great looking contract before it even kicks in.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Someone, anyone, explain why this wasnt done over a month ago?

Maybe he was doing his due diligence, getting 2nd and 3rd opinions. Tried to rehab and it didn't work. Clarke told him to wait and tough it out.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The way I see it is capspace just opened up boys!

 

[FLYguy3911]

The way I see it is capspace just opened up boys!

He was talking like a guy that already was banking on cap space being available by the summer. Probably already lubed up for the JVR deal.

 

[BiggE]

WELP.

But of course.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Another great looking contract before it even kicks in.

the Cuck special....

 

[FlyerNutter]

Cervical spine surgery in early 20s. Neck fusion in the future?

Yeaahhhh

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

So, we have back surgery for Couturier, Pelvic surgery for both Ellis and Hayes, and now spinal surgery for our "young" semi-star, Farabee. Why the HELL are we not blowing up this mess?!

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’d imagine doctor’s in general would try to avoid surgery if they can but especially when you start getting into the more delicate parts in the human body.

Cervical spine is fun. I guess if you are making millions, you’d try to keep playing.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Blow. It. All. Up.

 

[Rebels57]

No sane person rushes into any kind of back or neck surgery.

The only time you ever defend the Flyers is when it comes to medical issues and I NEED to know why

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t defend them as I think their general tough hockey guy brand & general inability to evaluate what’s going on out on the ice pushes players to want to play through injury while they’re oblivious to negative impact it’s having short & long term.

But I don’t really think they’re necessarily at fault here.
