I don't really think it is debatable, unless you want to have a debate about the medical care of NHL players more generally. At that point, this is not an issue with the Flames, but a league-wide systemic problem which affects every team. And I agree that that is a worthwhile discussion to have—I, for one, have long advocated for giving team physicians more power, and for more transparency and oversight in the process of how injuries are handled. My point here is that you cannot single out Sean Monahan as an exceptional case of negligence, which is certainly how your suppositions in previous posts have come across.
