He needs to not fight. It's that simple.

Even in Calgary, Ferly was getting concussions from hits alone.
If he can't hit and can't fight, you really neutralize his impact. What does that make him? Lee Stempniak on a big ticket?
His concussion problems are not surprising. Just go to hockeyfights and see how many fights he had in junior. He won pretty much all of them, but he had to have taken a lot of punishment.
I like fighting and the physical play and wouldn't like the game if it was taken out, but hard to see a good guy like Ferly have his career and livelihood impacted like this.
Maybe the solution is to allow fighting but they have to keep their gloves and helmuts on? As soon as one falls off, the fight is over?
