The ****ing Offseason Thread - 2016

I'd be genuinely surprised if Lupul suggested tomorrow that he's perfectly healthy and he's being held back by Leaf doctors but I think that's what certain bloggers are expecting - a controversy.

If he feels that he can play, he's still young enough to get another contract after this one. If he ends up being Robidas-ed this year, then his career is over. That's the main reason why people feel he might fight it.
 
Robidas, Lupul and Horton will all start the season on LTIR says everyone on twitter. No media availability for Lupul today.

Kadri on Lupul:"I think he's ready to go. I think he's excited about the season.Ultimately its their decision & we just play hockey" #Leafs

Kadri on Lupul: "I think he's ready to go and I think he's excited about the season." Read into that what you will.
 
Lamoriello says Lupul tried a comeback but still had discomfort after sports hernia surgery, failed physical. Says Lupul will release a statement shortly.
 
Lupul's statement:

Lupul has been rehabbing all summer, still had discomfort on the ice. Both parties felt after physical he wouldn't be able to play.

Important to note, if Lupul or his doctor didn't agree with the Leafs assessment they could have appealed. They didn't.
 
Weird thing for Kadri to say. Unless he wasn't listening to the question.

Yeah but knowing how Naz usually talks it's probably just a general statement he made. As in, well looks like everyone is here for camp so yeah Lups is ready to go(without checking if indeed he was healthy and all). I don't think there's anything else to it.
 
I don't get why anyone would think this is a weird thing to say....if you get asked a question about Lupul, what else are you going to do? Talk about his injuries? Why would a player get into shit like that.

Because it is a weird thing to say after the information was released last night. How the hell is it not?

It was so probably said in respoused to a question that was asked because of the information that was released last night.
 
And now ppl are arguing over whether ķadris statement was a weird thing to say. This place sometimes...

I said it was weird. Mind apparently has some sort of disagreement with everything I say. I think he thinks I'm someone else. Also, Kadri was asked the question well after Lupul released his statement.

Nope. When I posted the Kadri quotes above, Lamoriello had announced that Lupul was not healthy and would be on IR, but Lupul's statement hadn't yet been released.
