Jack Campbell enters player assistance program

[brentashton]

Do you really think it’s reasonable?

Yup Slick you nailed it. The program is confidential for obvious reasons but some on here want his medical records posted for purely voyeuristic reasons.

Let the guy get the help and support he requires and wish him the best in his recovery journey from whatever is ailing him in private. Full stop.

Probably not the place to debate a moron like you but answer me this, how shit must an organisation be if one man can make a mess of it?

I know it probably makes you feel a little bit better about yourself but f***ing grow up.

im also curious what mess he's made?

Kings? No
Leafs? No
Oilers? no, they went to the final with him on the roster.

It’s a little perplexing that he signs a contract with Detroit and 3 months later a week before the season starts he enters the PAP. So his issue developed sometime in the last 3 months? I mean if a company hired me for a year on a set salary of 100 k and the day before I start my year long contract I enter their employee assistance program and still get paid, I don’t think the company would be too thrilled…

I know a guy that got head hunted for a senior exec position in a publicly traded company. 4 months into the job He had a massive heart attack, emergency quadruple bypass . Obviously a long recovery before he went back first part and then full time. But I guess the company should have fired him after his cardiac episode because he probably was sick before he started. Pathetic.

Like others said, f*** the company and people who think that way. And I say that as someone who worked as an executive in a large company and had important people “exit” workflow at critical times for me personally in terms of the work I needed done. My needs were less than important at that point though. Their treatment and recovery was what was important.
Good grief even thinking this way.

Looks like the demotion then buyout hit him hard

The thing with Campbell is hes his own worst enemy. Always blames himself when the team struggles. Hoping for the best, hes probably the nicest guy in the entire league.

Soup will pull this off. Reaching out the biggest step.

and only the nieve and the grade schoolers "tend not to think of players as human".

He a weird case, with a ceiling higher than most nhl backups and several starter. Never count those guys completely out.

Get well soup!

Can someone tell me a player who entered the PAP and actually have a long productive career after? Cause I feel like every player I think of that was the beginning of the end, bobby ryan, carey price, Kuznetsov…

The NHL/NHLPA only announce when a player enters the Player Assistance Program if that results in the Player missing games.

Entering the program in stage 1 does not automatically require the Player to stop playing. That decision is made by the doctor(s) with the player’s input to decide whether it’s okay for the player to continue to play NHL games while being treated.

It’s likely many players have been—or are currently in—Stage 1 of the Player Assistance Program while continuing to play NHL hockey.
