It's the causation and the quantification of the damages that would make it difficult for him though. Just spitballing numbers here, but if a guy in his position (good, but not great prospect, playing in the AHL) has a 20% chance of an average career (which I am again guessing, might be shorter and less lucrative that you might think), and this interaction lowered that chance, I think the damages would be that difference in percentages times the average earnings. I don't think it is life changing money. He would need to seek punitive or exemplary damages, which is possible, but by no means a certainty.
