Yeah, last year about this time as well. He is on the wrong side of 30 to be having chronic back problems and still contribute (not that being under 30 with back problems is any better).

Not gonna lie, my first reaction to seeing this thread was... "Oh they must be trying to get Ryan O'Reilly."

[Toonage]

Yeah this is probably what will happen

Probably. Then they will have someone LTIR next year to keep him.

That's probably it for him, isn't it?

Personally yes I think he is headed for LTIRetirement like Kesler. Any sort of neck or back surgery is very questionable to have as a professional athlete and be able to continue performing at that level. It's even more riskier having multiple surgeries in the same spot.

All jokes about LTIR aside, I hope markstone can return to a pain free life.

The Stone brothers aren't made of stone apparently.
