I would assume all NHL GM’s/Staff interested in this player would be doing this correct? And by release the MRI, you mean release to the inquiring teams not the general public correct? I mean it of course could or likely will leak but I don’t think it should be the public’s business really unless Lindstrom wants that to be the case.My word is a gray area. The MRI dataset is needed, and a phone consult with top surgical specialists is also needed, to understand the prognosis for the athlete. Without these answers, he could be anything between a repeat customer at the infirmary and the steal of the draft. If they won't release the MRI, that says a lot. If they do however, that's a start toward real transparency. The location of the injury (lumbar area around L4-L5) makes the swing that wild between these two poles. I find it difficult to believe that all of that has been made public at or since the combine.
Do you have a medical background or do you just know a thing or two anatomy? Again, I know financial statements, financial accounting, assurance, taxation etc but this is all Greek to me - I’ve heard lumbar L4-L5 before but I couldn’t point to it on a human body to save my life without using the internet/cheating.
