“no significant difference in career seasons for nonoperatively treated players compared to the matched cohort”
“Players treated non-operatively did not experience any significant decline in game use or performance.”
“At 3 seasons post-injury, players who were treated non-operatively experienced a significant decrease in Fenwick percentage (50.8 ± 5.4 vs 47.6 ± 1.4; P = .047) and no other significant differences in game use or performance”
“while nonoperatively managed players had no performance deficits. “
This is also looking at players who are 27-28 years old from 2004-2020. During this time 27-28 you were starting to wrap up your careers. It was rare for players to play into their 30’s.
Medical and training has advanced far far past what it was 20 years ago. He’ll even 5 years ago. We’ve seen 2 players get artificial disc replacements in Tyler Johnson and eichel in recent years. Medical technology is going to continue to advance

Center depth only matters if those centers are healthy enough to play
