He should already be on a plane to the Czech Republic. Playing him tonight is all risk, no reward.I think the risk/reward is crazy high to play him in 1 meaningless game then have him rest his head months more.

Respectfully disagree. The more he can rest his brain the better. The less he risks it the better. Playing him now for no reason is a bad decision imo.There's no reward for the team but if he is cleared to play there is not really much risk at this point given that if anything happens they don't have another game for four months.
He's at a point where any next game could be his last. He's damaged and broken.Respectfully disagree. The more he can rest his brain the better. The less he risks it the better. Playing him now for no reason is a bad decision imo.
Sadly I agree about his health. Im worried that next hit could also cause after career issues. I would encourage him to work out a health related contract settlement. Hopefully he saved some money. He can stay close to the game in others ways.He's at a point where any next game could be his last. He's damaged and broken.

It's up to the doctors. If they say he is good to play why would I think I know more than they do? I'm not a doctor nor am I with him every day,

I assume the doctors tell these guys that they are more susceptible to a reoccurrence with each concussion. Even without the doctors saying so most players have to know. The doctors are not saying he will not have another concussion. They are just clearing him based on current symptoms receding.I know (assume) it's a different time, but there are hundreds of past NHLers who shouldn't have listened to the doctors when it came to their concussions.
It is not that you know more than the doctors. The doctors aren't saying that he is safe from another reoccurrence or worse. They are just saying that his current symptoms are either gone or limited enough to the point that he can play. Concussions often snow ball. Most of us knew when he was traded that it sadly was only a matter of time before it happened again. Each time he has come back he was cleared by the doctors before doing so.
DefinitelyCanes giving a “first NHL game” tonight to a guy named Skyler Brind’Amour.
Nepo baby?
HOT DAMN!!!!!MTL scores an ENG, 4-2, they should be able to clinch making NYI v CLB a game for pride. Hopefully the Isles can take advantage of the deflated Jackets.
