If he was traded to anywhere than where he ended up, then he wouldnt have been in the same situations.

I would argue that it's very likely he would have had concussion/injury problems no matter where he went.

  1. He played recklessly. It was part of what made him dominant ( when he was able to play ).
  2. He had a bad habit of skating with his head down.
  3. He was made of glass.

It was a recipe for disaster. It's too bad because when he was healthy he was a force of nature.
