So you are making medical claims
Nope. Never did. Reading before replying is important.
- I know you are not a MD, a surgeon or physio because you would then know that you could be held liable for said stupid claims.
Now you're a detective slash legal expert policing a message board...
Might want to revisit your understanding of civil and criminal law.
Or perhaps start with basic reading comprehension
And it's not because you are on a hockey forum that you should escape this reality.
Nor escape bad takes and posters who love to keep chasing their own tail
I'm a patient of said injury.
Labrum tears are never fully healed.
Yes you can put them together, but they are more likely to reinjury and lead to further consequences.
I wasn't talking about a knee, a core, or something else. I was talking about Sean Monahan hip injuries. I have a tear in the meniscus and I have a bad ankle (all the same side), my hip is by far the worse problem I have. I used to be an elite soccer player, then I've been running pretty hardcore.
Explains a lot.
Newsflash. You and your experience is a personal experience, not a definitive statement on all sport injuries.
The world does not revolve around you, assuming so makes an ass out of.... and makes for a real sucky take
sorry to break it to ya
Monahan is knowingly taking the risk of further consequences. They all do it for the significant $ ( I do it to try to stay in shape). That's the first thing my orthopedic surgeon said to be me, "you are now damaged goods" I can do 99.9% of what I used to do, but my situation was very light, the tear was small. I'm guessing that Sean's 2 hips, are something at least on his mind. And he's noticeably losing speed.
Siri - show me a post that reflects a disconnect with the reality that the vast majority of elite athletes in contact sports have sustained injuries that cause permanent damage to their body... Yet continue to participate and perform in said sport regardless of reductions in physical capacity and heightened risk of long term health impacts.
As I stated at the start... Your posts reflect a lack of understanding of high performance sport. Your experience, as described by you, is not reflective of what elite athletes endure and push through.
And guess what, yes it's personal...duh...you can make that accusation all you want, I'm guilty of having the same experience and that experience informing my "bad take".
Nope. Not the "same" experience.
Not in the least. That you confuse this is the evidence of your lack of understanding.
"Ignorance is bliss" wow, that's rich.
No, it's bliss.
That's relevant to hockey matters and our rebuild, and my experience explains my take. I'm not saying he can't have a few more good seasons - we are rebuilding, I would not take a 3 to 4 years risks on that body. That's when our window is. In the short term, I prefer training younger and healthier bodies that have no overly damaged anatomy.
Finally... Hockey talk! I knew you could do it
I've outlined previously why I the risk/reward assessment on Monahan is worthwhile, in my
opinion
3-4 years is likely what it would take to sign the player, I think his demonstrated value on/off the ice, and the Habs medical team's direct insight to his recovery, are the two crucial aspects that mitigate the obvious risk.
I can perfectly understand and appreciate why someone else would hold a different assessment. It's the weak attempt at framing an opinion as an objective fact that I called out in your initial response... Gross generalizations, especially those that are verifiably false, make for piss poor takes.
KH has made it quite evident that the organization is not content to stay status quo. Improving the roster, rather than the pick/prospect accumulation, internal cap re-organization & in-house asset assessment focus of the first 2 "rebuilding" years, appears to be the phase they are pushing towards.
I doubt they will rush into adding veteran players just for the sake of it/regardless of cost, but based on their asset management, roster building and culture fit approach thus far, Monahan checks several boxes. I won't be surprised at all to see him offered a deal, nor do I expect that we'd make the biggest offer. Based on some direct information about the person that I am aware of, and the public commentary he's made about his experience in Montreal (org., teammates, city) I would not be surprised to to see him choose the Habs offer even though it's not the longest term or highest $ value he gets.
If the Habs medical team says no way to a multi year offer, I'm sure KH will listen.
Pretty straightforward take. Hopefully you can understand it better this time around
