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.

I'm merely saying that's it's debatable that the team had no control over how his body would fare. Teams have trainers and medical staff in order to have some control over how player's bodies fare. They obviously do not have total control, but they have some control, so my reply was to where you wrote "as if the Flames had some control over how his body would fare".
Basically, I agree with GioforPM. Whether or not his injury issues were handled appropriately is an unsettled open question that we don't have the necessary info to reach a conclusion on one way or the other.
