Thread: My BEST attempt at predicting the Wings Off-Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>The most common way in the US to fix issues with discs is spinal fusion. They go in remove what is left of the disc then with a special glue that fuses the vertebrae above and vertebrae below the bad disc together. Then they stabilize with screws and bars so the vertebrae can't pull apart while they fuse. Then you go back to have the screws and bars are removed. You are right with one fusion movement or motion lost isn't much but the 2nd and the 3rd you will start to notice it. I was able to find the name of the surgeon who did Bertuzzi's surgery. Dr. Frank Cammisa who specializes in disc replacement.</div></div>

I've had a spinal fusion myself. It's not that bad if it's just one. My father, who's had 3 on the other hand, that's when it gets rough. It also majorly depends on location.

Thread: My BEST attempt at predicting the Wings Off-Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I noticed you had said that in a different ACGM and you are not alone several other Wing's fan here feel the same way and there is a 3rd group of Wing's fans that would ok with Dunn but they'd want something else as well. We have DDK who I like but his last back surgery and sitting out a full year may have too much at 31 and the league just keeps getting faster, can he still be effective in the 1st or 2nd pair? Cholowski has played in 109 games and still hasn't figured it out. Then we have McIsaac since being drafted has missed a big chunk of the last 2 seasons to have each of his shoulders surgically repaired and thats an injury that never heals 100%. So it's not will he need another operation but when will he need another operation.</div></div>

Honestly, IMO, Dunn just doesn't fit the Wings timeline. Cholo showed quite a bit of growth over the last year. I think he'll be a pretty solid 3rd pairing guy. Put him with Stech and he's got a real shot. McIsaac is a bummer for sure. DDK likely has a mediocre future, but he's a stop-gap until Stevie can figure the left side out. ALL that being said, I still don't see Dunn as the answer to any of those problems. I think this year was his peak performance level, and for a 1st rd pick, especially one that could pick us up a Cossa or a Chayka, it isn't worth it to me. But Stevie knows best. Maybe he does make that trade. I'm not going to be upset if he does. I just personally wouldn't.
