Concussions are a completely different thing. If he’d sat out all that time with concussions you wouldn’t see people advocating to keep him as our second line center.There are "glass" bodies. Guys like Brett Lindros who will get a concussion on any hit. Colin White who is always hurt etc. And Dach hurt his wrist before the WJC on a nothing hit not a slash. Diifferent types of injuries indicate a player is injury prone. The same injury doesn't necessarily. A bad injury that weakens a joint and results in further injuries is bad luck not any indication of bing prone to injuries.
All of his injuries have been flukey. The Hawks brought him back too early so that caused problems. Last year’s was totally unrelated to the wrist.
He SHOULD be okay going forward. We have to give him the chance. If he goes down… okay, then we can look at alternatives. We can’t go another season without a second line center. It’s unacceptable at this point.
