It's one side from a player who's been disgruntled for a couple years now with their employer for a few reasons.
While he may well have some valid health concerns, it is only one side of the story and his PR campaign is being carefully orchestrated here for sure.

What? Of course I haven't seen them.
A player has accused their employer of forcing them to work through a workplace injury, while preventing the employee from without obtaining the needed surgery to fix the injury. It is presumed this was done as it would be to help the employers profit margin this year or future years (or to decrease the net loss this year).
Based on just this information, Bingo's first response was that player is screaming "me me me" too much. The player was only talking about their long term health concerns from a work place injury and being forced to work through it, and Bingo labels them as a "me me me" player?
Any other industry, that instant attack on a presumed victims character to defend the corporation, with zero evidence (unless of course there are other qutoes not included in OP, in which case, sure) would be a sickening position for all to see, and all should see it in hockey to.
Is there more to the story and there is a chance the player is embellishing? Perhaps, and the Sabers can certainty decide to go public or not. We may never hear the full story, if there is more from it, but currently this player is a victim and should be treated as such.
You don't provide a victim a blanket of trust with no questions, but you also don't immediately attack their character based on nothing but their concerns about the impact of their long term health. Like really? This was the first reaction?
This "cult of hockey" driving this mentality that team success (and therefore team profit margins) is more important than the long term health of these players needs to die a quick death.
Its gross
