Watch him retire next year and somehow Lightnjng won’t have cap issues

Super unfortunate. Stammer is such a great guy. I wonder if he’s ever going to be able to return fully. Seems like these lingering injuries just keep getting him. Glad he got a cup last year even if it wasn’t with him playing every game.

I hope stammer can get back to the game, but think it’s time he needs to start looking at his quality of life after the game. These lingering issues need to be handled and it’s likely he needs to take some serious time to fix what’s going on.

Honestly it’s something that he should consider. These injuries aren’t something you want to mess with. The ones that linger are usually the worst. He needs to take as much time as it needs to figure out and fix what’s going on. Don’t want to be 45+ years old still dealing with lingering issues.

Honestly if he won another cup this year, I think he should retire and even though he’s my favorite player it sucks to watch a guy be injured so much. The other person said it right, quality of life is damn important and he’s only 31. That’s young as hell in terms of living and not as a professional athlete.
