Realized it is an old thread but that isn't quite what happened. Canuck doctors indeed missed the problem....and so did Hodgson's specialists. They agreed with the Canucks doctors. It was in fact the Canucks Doctor that in the end diagnosed it properly.

Did not know those details. Thanks. I just remember it hurting the relationship which ended with the trade to Buffalo.

So did Gillies win that trade? I thought Hodgson was gonna be a really good player.
