He plays a “game” that is not conducive to any sort of longevity, health wise.
I’ve never heard of a player that had 6 concussions.

Primeau says he had 10. Multiple guys had 7 or more. Crosby has had at least 5 but hasn’t had severe symptoms for a decade since he missed the majority of two full seasons.
Concussions are also identified and reported far, far better now than they ever were before. They are a concern, obviously, but not all concussions are equal either.
They aren’t the kind of thing you can really predict. The next one could end Pospisil’s career, or he might never get another one again. In the same way, the first one could end another player’s career. You just don’t know.
