Now he is playing this holier than thou card since he wants to get money from the NHL out of a lawsuit and acts like he actually has other players best interests at heart.
The guy only cares in raising the profile of his case in order to get a better settlement from the NHL for himself, and is only fooling himself if thinks people actually believe that players in his generation didn't know the impacts concussions had long term when he was a player.
He's only 33 years old, and concerns around concussions and post-concussion syndrome have been around in the public knowledge for at least 15 years now. For him to act like he didn't know about the impact from concussions and how it impacted players when he was running around taking cheap shots on his fellow players is B.S.
