[clydesdale line]

He'll be back soon, but I said this in regards to him suffering another concussion that it's scary stuff and I hope this guy doesn't have any complications in the future. Here's an article in regards to him possibly being one more head hit away from hanging them up.

Don't rush, Drake. Health first.

I hope he takes all the time he needs and doesn’t try to rush it. The rest of your life is more important than a couple of games.

Head injuries are just so scary, a full contact sport especially. Just take your time drake.

Caggulia was an underrated bigger loss on this team. I like his game a lot.

But yeah don’t rush back for any games this year. Take care of your health first.

He and Shaw are literally on their last legs sort of speak, especially with how both of those guys play the game. I hope both guys have a good bill of health the rest of their lives, career be damned.

They should just retire. Although I empathize with their injury situations, when it gets to the point of "one more concussion could be the end", they have become a distraction.

Shaw is a wealthy man. Drake on the other hand, I doubt he retires at 25 before getting his first decent contract.

Drake’s in such a tough spot. Probably can’t get a multiyear deal with his injury history. Hopefully the Hawks are training him for a career in hockey off the ice.

Love Caggs and Shaw but I'm also worried for their long term outlook in the league. I don't think they can play any other way (it's why I love them) but at their size we see the consequences.

Long term health first for both, no matter what.

A big part of his effectiveness is his style and his game calls for taking hits----on the boards, front of the net......tough place to be in.
