Shame for the young man

 

[WarriorofTime]

Sorry to hear, wish him all the best

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This is so unfair to him and unfortunate for the franchise, who really seemed to believe in him. We saw the struggles early but hoped it would pass regardless, since he had the talent to shine. Best of luck in your future endeavours Chaz, and be well.

Some really great hot takes less than 24 hours ago... Tells how much we really know

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Really unfortunate to ruin his career leaving NCAA early. Guy thought he was a superstar but really he needed the NCAA schedule and gym for another two years.

Wrong again.

Wrong again.

What was wrong about my post?

He left NCAA because they did not treat his injuries well, but it is a mot point know, because whatever path he chosed he would up here anyway... :/

So sad for this young man. Having your career snatched from you with no way to fight for it is IMO, something every hockey fan should be able to understand and feel sorry for.

He must have been some kind of good to be able to play with this illness at a level that made him a first rounder.

Very Sad ,

That he ruined his career by not staying in the NCAA and not because he had a genetic disorder??

So all of it?

It's very sad but it's the right decision. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a big deal. Eleven years ago a good friend of mine died after riding a mountain on his bike. His aorta bursted because of this condition which impact joints and skins.

It explains so much about him and it makes me wonder how many players retired because of injuries not knowing they had EDS.

EDS is a rare disease, but it's also one of the most common ones.

I had high hopes in Chaz Lucius when I gave up Adam Larsson for him. He had a lot of talent and reminded me of Pacioretty.

Hope he can have a nice life away from playing, maybe as a coach or something.

 

[De Montreal]

Would have been nice of the Winnipeg Jets to announce some kind of initiative to support research for Ehlers-Danlos. Nothing has been done relative to this unless I'm wrong?

Doesnt even have to be a big donation, just an awarness campaign during a game and maybe some profits off a 50/50 draw. They have a big following and it could make a small difference. I'm sure Lucius would appreciate it.
