I want to know exactly what this injury is.

I want to know exactly the extent of it.

I want to know questions like, will he injure himself?

He's still there.

I think he's smart enough to say, look, I'm not going to help you if I'm out there.

He may look at it from that point of view and say, I cannot help you.

I would agree, but I also think they should answer every question.

If the Penguins have a concern, they should tell him.

We don't think this is the right decision for you.

Then you hope you get through it without re-aggravating, making it worse.

Would you be against that, Tyler?
