I trust only @GoAwayPanarin for HFDocs advice.

If Fil is out I'd love to see Edstrom in his spot, just do it, don't be all NHL coachy about it and say he hasn't played center in the nhl yet, who cares, he's 100 % better than Brodzinski in that spot, let Brodz play 4th line where he'll be effective as well. Edstrom is the internal answer to the Chytil problem, it's early in the season, get him used to it. Cuylle and Kakko can help by committee to make the transition easier with their defensive play

He should permanently wear a cage if he returns

I dont see how that would help

Maybe something like this, but i still dont think any type of helmet will completely mitigate the chance of concussion, especially in individuals who are prone to them.

Its about the action of the brain bouncing off the inside of the skull and the rates of recovery, more so then the impact force directed from the exterior. Sometimes even a glancing blow can produce a concussion while a full impact doesnt. I've experienced this myself.

The science has gotten better to disperse the energy but Its hard to see any kind of protective contraption come close to eliminated the chance completely.
