    As good as the Jets are right now, the idea of adding at the deadline is one thing but getting Trouba and Lowry back would essentially be the two best "additions" they could make this time of year.

    Money well spent considering he was a big part of a solid D corp that helped get the team where it is now.  If he has a long term injury, they can move the money to LTIR moving forward and insurance k

By the nature of concussions, you can't compare other players recovery times or because X player has had more concussions then Mason, Mason should be fine.

There is still too much about concussions we don't know about to be able to compare them between players and situations.

Right.  And what I was trying to emphasize with Mason, is that a player can choose to walk away from the game due to concussions, even if he is medically cleared to play.  Many athletes are starting to make that decision.  Mason's comments after his November concussion lead me to believe that he is worried about the long-term effects and may be starting to weigh the cost/benefit of continuing to play pro hockey.  Surely suffering another concussion so soon after the initial one will only make him consider retirement even more.
