You mentioned bringing a specialist on the show to talk about addiction, and how it relates to sports and the player assistance program. I would love to see an expert on the show who can talk to that point.

if you have an alcohol problem, try the 30 day free alcohol experiment offered by Annie Grace from Conifer. search for it online. I am over 3 years sober.

At what point does the mantra of “he’s earned every right & opportunity” clash with the reality of the situation, which is going into season 3 of this & 2 calendar years he’s holding the organization back during the peak of their cup window. This is a business, the Avs need to start treating this situation more with their heads & less with sentimentality.

Landy is one of my top 3 all time favorite Avs and still my favorite current Av but you're right. I'm still hoping he does come back at 100% or close to it but, if he can't, he's gotta retire

That, and what kind of player can you reasonably expect him to be if he returns? They need to move on as if he’s never coming back and if he does, great, but they need to allocate that money elsewhere in the meantime.

@@10coolfacts whenever he comes back, he comes of LTIR and his cap hit goes in to effect. You can either have that cap space available or you can spend to the cap. If you don't spend to the cap expecting him to come back (like we did 2 years ago), then you have a $7 million dollar hole in your roster. That's what 8% of the total team cap? It's a lot and would make the team much weaker. You could say you're going to do the Mark Stone thing but then Landy would be going in to the playoffs without have played a game of hockey in 3 seasons. It's not a good situation. Obviously I'm hoping he's 100% to start the season. But it would be tough to count on that.

What’s to stop players from taking a leave of absence and getting treatment privately instead of entering the PAP? It seems like it’s in both player’s and team’s best interest to circumvent the PAP if possible

The assistance program has to provide consequences for not following the rules, that's one of the way it's helping the players take responsibility for their actions...There should be an option to terminate the player contract on the third strike against them, though.

Gotta agree on how bad this hurts any organization that try’s to help a player through addiction. The player can fail numerous times to meet the player assistance program’s conditions and the organization can’t do a thing about it. At this point Val has seemingly failed to meet conditions twice based off the rules and still can’t be terminated unless he fails two more times? This sadly encourages any organization going forward to immediately terminate the contract before the player enters the assistance program. I wonder if this sets a toxic precedent going forward

At best, a 50% chance Landy plays again. Or maybe a few games, then retires. A timeline of season to season isn’t encouraging. Sad. But, I’ll happily dine on 🐦⬛ if I’m wrong.
