You can't overblow brain injuries. Mighty cavalier of you to downplay any concussion issue. Your thought process breeds the kind of willful overlooking of brain injuries across all sports.
I'm sure teams will do their due diligence before signing a player but dont you dare discount the health and well being on another person's health just so you can prove a point.
Ferland missed multiple stretches of games last year. Maybe rushing back before ready, maybe taking another knock to the head after being cleared. Either way it's a red flag none the less.
And yes some other guys have come back, but not all. And not most either.
Edit: and the biggest point here is that anyone expecting any sort of return to smash em Ferland is in for a massive disappointment.
