So what happened to Beagle?

I would take Snoop Dog on my hockey team over Jay Beagle....

So what happened to Beagle?

Just like with the Demko contract, the team seems to want to keep tight-lipped about everything right now so I doubt we'll find out exactly what happened for a bit

I don't even remember him getting injured and he's on the LTIR with whispers of it leading into next season or permanently.

Same. Don't remember him leaving the game early or anything but his injury did come at a time when the Canucks were running into injury issues so I didn't really think much when I heard Beagle was out and not travelling with the team. LTIR I get, but expected to be on LTIR next season? Wow.

LITR for the whole season would be just fine

"Hossa Disease"

Hossa Disease is highly prevalent in over-paid, underperforming hockey players over the age of 33. It has similar symptoms to Datsyukitis.

“Some nights I couldn’t lay down because on the sheets, just turning was painful. I had to sleep in a straight-back wooden chair with a sheet on me,” Reid recalled. “It was not a lot of fun.”

“I played 35 to 36 games that final year because I spent so much time with the doctor,” Reid said. “They though it was a combination of my body type and the heat of my body during playing time. They tried to cool me down, squirt me with water whenever I got off the ice. All that did was add weight to my equipment. In the '77-78 season, the doctors said, ‘We’ve been given you steroids, cortisone, but can’t do it anymore. You’ll be dead by 40.’ So I stepped away.”

Read up on how skin conditions (and concomitant medication side effects) can make hell of some people's lives, in this case a player from the 1970's who had a similar kind of issue to Hossa's and had to retire. By the way, Hossa still managed to scored 26 goals in 73 games in his final season; not exactly a stiff.

has there been any update on Beagle? I think I remember hearing that he had return to the ice in a non contact sweater but that was about a month ago.

With the season winding down, I doubt we'll ever find out. He's almost a guaranteed buy-out candidate this summer.

$1.4M in cash payout to net cap savings of only 400k. Unlikely that they would buy out Beagle; there are better candidates, especially Virtanen.

Jim's big free agent signings - Get them on injury reserve asap (if you are lucky), and buy them out (if you are lucky). Then within a few years they are out of the league. Wow now there is cap space! Time to re-tool!

Yep. Better off burying him in the minors than buying him out.
