Ferland. The fact he had two or three concussion in the first year in Carolina the first one the first few weeks. A few here too, including Game 1 vs the Ducks when the Ducks made sure he wasn't going to run around like he did vs Vancouver.
And there are a lot more than that, less high profile players. Lombardi was really never the same here or in Phoenix after Hatcher elbowed him in the Wings series in 2004.
Absolute steal of a trade considering Fox wasn't coming here.
Wonder why not formally retired for Patrick. No rush I guess but maybe something else afoot.
