Not sure what is wrong with him anymore, maybe his body just can't handle the sport.

He had a shoulder injury and is trying to recover from it. Now you know.

TIL it takes 3 seasons to mend a shoulder injury

You could probably amputate and transplant an average persons arm and have them rehabilitate their shoulder faster than Beau Bennett

The shoulder injury occurred in December 2015.

Yeah it's sarcasm but alludes to the fact he is unable to stay in the lineup as he has shown over a number of seasons now.

And even still, December was 5 months ago.

 

[Fordy]

wait, bennett can't stay in the lineup? since when?

 

[The Old Master]

but he has the guts to keep coming back. the man is amazing.

i'd almost guarantee he's not selling. ******** drug laws call possession over a certain amount intent to distribute. doesn't matter if it was obviously for personal use

selling oxys ain't that big a deal anyway. if the nhl didn't ignore its substance problems or took better care of its guys after retirement this wouldn't happen

Oxy is straight up terrible ****. But I was reading one of those articles about the opiate problem in America that have been popping up lately that a staggeringly high percentage of people getting popped for federal charges on these are using pill mills which can sometimes fall under federal juristiction, what with interstate commerce and all. I mean, it's also a drug that should not be used for chronic pain (it was originally designed for terminally ill patients) because of how it wears off early and how the manufacturer has given doctors false information about its effectiveness.

And yeah, it's pretty clear that Artie has been failed by medical profession and the league at some point. Dude needs to get clean, but that's complicated by his pain issues (I'm assuming) and his now problematic relationship with opiates.

A really sad, sad tale.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Yes. The answer to this question is and always will be yes.

It is clear at this point that he is physically and mentally unable to handle NHL hockey.

I wonder if he still has some value and that JR can swap him for another type of a bust

It sucks to say it, but sometimes prison is the perfect chance to get clean. I know you can still get drugs in there, but if you take the punishment seriously and try to change its your best shot...plus theres treatment programs in there.

Best of luck to him. Addiction is a *****.

I don't think so. He'd probably even pass waivers.
