The Canes may go into training camp with the David Tanabe situation still unresolved.
Tanabe's agent, Neil Sheehy, said today that the defenseman still has not been able to skate. Tanabe missed the last 49 games last season after suffering a Dec. 18 concussion against Toronto.
in June, the Canes sought to buy out the last year of Tanabe's contract, but the NHLPA filed a grievance based on the terms of the CBA. Sheehy said Tanabe, who played in 18 games last season, recently consulted with a doctor in Buffalo but was not given a clean bill of health.
"I'm hopeful he can play but I don't know," Sheehy said. "When you're dealing with a brain injury, you never know."
Canes general manager Jim Rutherford said Tanabe, being under contract, will be required to attend training camp and would be monitored by team doctors.
"It would appear, on the latest doctor's report, that he's not declared healthy enough to play," Rutherford said.

What ashame about Tanabe,
Mon, 08/25/2008 - 06:00 — Anonymous (not verified)What ashame about Tanabe, but one has to wonder exactly what is going on with him. He has a sorted past, and on more than one occasion the Canes gave him a contract to play when no one else would. He could at least have the decency to talk to the organizaiton and show up for camp which I'm sure would be only right on his part, but we all know how he is. We don't need the drama, and the Canes need to do what they must to put this thing to bed and move on without him. I'm sure we will never see him in a Canes uniform again.
This has nothing to do with
Mon, 08/25/2008 - 00:17 — Anonymous (not verified)This has nothing to do with Tanabe personally. It's all about the salary cap. If the buyout goes through, his cap hit is reduced by 50%. However, you can't buy out a player who is injured. It's just business, not personal.
Buy out & Mr. T
Sat, 08/23/2008 - 18:20 — esteban1949As someone who had a very close and personal friend who suffered a brain injury Like Mr. T's...but thay healed up faster than the spinal cord ( as in the brain stem) injury. Not being brash ugly or trying to sound hateful...if he doesn't pass the exam in buffalo...and he still has to be at training camp even if he is out on the ice by hisself...then the Canes despite the NHLPA filing...can send him to a farm team...like Albany for some rehab work or take the cash...file for perminate disability...and retire on top...and not turn the Canes and camp into a soap opera...JR & Mr.K do that enough behind the scenes...enough already...Like the big oil companies who want more leases to see about exploring for more oil...Mr. T like Big oil ought to either use it...as in what they have...or get out...and have a nice day...But I'm a hockey fan...what would I possibly know...?? Hang in there Chip...and all kidding aside...Thanks !
One of the "bugs" in this
Sun, 08/24/2008 - 22:18 — Anonymous (not verified)One of the "bugs" in this mix is that the Canes may send him to the minors, but they will have to pay him NHL money. Tanabe's deal was 2-way in the first year and 1-way in the second.
There has been some buzz since the spring that Mr. T was working this injury for as much cash as possible. I don't know that this is true, but that rumor has been floating for quite some time. Mr. T's behavior has not been professional, brain injury or not.
Still a mystery to me.
Fri, 08/22/2008 - 19:23 — AD (not verified)Did anyone actually see the hit that has kept Tanabe out indefinitely. I vaguely recall that another player was hit hard during that game (Cullen? Williams?), but I never saw what happened to David. I know the effects of concussions are cumulative and unpredictable, but I am still baffled that no one saw him get hit.
By JR's comment, I think you can infer that he is fed up with this situation. DT didn't even make it to end of season meetings and to anyone's knowledge, has not made any effort to speak with the organization. So by stating that he is required to attend training camp I think he is saying "cut the crap" and come talk to us.
LaRose was the other player
Sat, 08/23/2008 - 11:02 — Anonymous (not verified)LaRose was the other player that got hit.
What happened to Tanabe was thathis head was moving when he got hit, so it did more damage to his brain than normal.
Thanks Nony
Sat, 08/23/2008 - 21:52 — AD (not verified)I wish his (DT's) camp would come out with a statement so that we could get behind him rather than resent him.
I smell a rat... and it's not Albanian.
Here's a what if
Fri, 08/22/2008 - 15:53 — C-Leaguer (not verified)Since the Canes started the process of buying him out already can they still buy him out when he is medically cleared to play? Is that possible?
That's a good question.
Sat, 08/23/2008 - 14:00 — atrioneThat's a good question. There is a specific timetable for buying out players. The Canes initiated the process during the window but couldn't finish because of the concussion. Does that freeze the clock or are they out of luck?
Realisically, the best solution might be long term injured reserve. They get the cap relief that they wouldn't get with a buyout but are on the hook for the entire salary, unless it's covered by insurance.
Tanabe

It's a shame to hear Tanabe still just isn't doing very well. Hopefully we won't have any more concussion problems with our players this season--
