His trainer, who was also a close friend, committed suicide, seemingly out of the blue. Right around the same time, his father got very ill with Encephalitis. That illness put me in a coma when I was about 11 or 12 so I can vouch for it's severity. His mind was a long way away from the game. yeah but modern medicine had come a long way in the last 100 years or so.

Well, that was uncalled for. A little mean-spirited even.

Well, that was uncalled for. A little mean-spirited even. Absolutely. That lack of oxygen to the brain really hurt.

Now that I have a current subscription, I read the whole thing and it seems like he might be ready to contribute again. Now, obviously he is 35, so he won't be a top pair player. But if he got his issues sorted out, he should be a decent option as a 4-6 veteran d-man. Unfortunately he gets paid like a #2, so that won't help much in the big picture. But who cares, the Hawks will suck anyway and have no cap issues. Might as well let a franchise legend retire a Hawk. The worst option would be to trade him. That means packaging him with sweeteners, and the Hawks don't need to be giving away assets right now.

Jim rubs the wrong place the right way.
I asked about the knee, but he only touched the wee knee.
