All of those things (and more!) could be the cause of Tkachuk's injury. Until someone from the team comes out and says he was concussed, it serves us nothing to sit here and jaw and speculate about it. For all we know tkachuk has had a severely dislocated shoulder, or a fracture somewhere that has kept him resting rather than working out.
I wasn't attacking you, just questioning the assumption.
But Ehlers only played 40% of his 5 on 5 with Laine. He played more with Wheeler who is probably a better RW.
