To assume any of the team not looking into the severity, or forcing the player to play against his will or playing the player when a better option was available ... is crazy to me.

I definitely agree with each point. I just think that we may still be suffering from witnessing Monahan skating around and looking like his career was completely over. Had it not been for that, I wouldn't be able to understand some of the posters here with their 'crazy' takes. I do, however, agree with each point you made and feel it was probably the right call to have Andersson continue playing through his injury.
