The thing that bugs me the most about him is that he has the skill but he doesn't think he has to work at it to keep it up, he should fit right in with the nucks organization.

I think you completely missed the point. Concussions can change the brain, often permanently. Some players get lucky and others don't. What might be an insignificant concussion to one player is a serious concussion to another. The brain is a very delicate organ, and even slight changes can cause debilitation in major ways.
Doesn't anyone remember when Sidney Crosby's career was in jeopardy due to post-concussion syndrome?
