WTF???

I certainly hope his career trajectory dramatically shifts upward after this, because up until now, it has been really, really discouraging due to freak injuries/situations out of his control.

I don't think Samuel had a load of health issues in college, but neither did Dan Morgan.

Sometime this stuff is just unpredictable.

As the previous posters have mentioned, it is likely an ablation procedure to knock out an atrial fibrillation issue (Hence it being deemed minor).  Essentially they use catheters to burn/scar the piece of heart tissue that is functioning abnormally.   I've had the procedure done for a ventricular tachycardia arrhythmia which is more serious.  They ended up putting a defibrillator in me as a precaution. 

If successful, my guess is that he could be back relatively soon.  I know guys that have had the procedure done and were as good as new in a week or so.

He likely had an ablation or cardioversion.... bigger concern is if he needs blood thinners for this down the road his career is done.  You can't play football while on anticoagulation. His CHAD2 score is zero so I doubt he'll need any blood thinners

You don't need therapeutic AC regardless of your CHADS2 if you arent in Afib, which he shouldn't be after an ablation.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
