Grossmann plays a reckless style of hockey. Injuries go along with it.


His knees have been a recurrent reason for concern as he had been wearing braces left and right last year, he's been struggling with hip issues earlier this year, and now severe concussion symptoms. It probably all started last year after the Malkin elbowing when he came back early and appeared dizzy to a certain degree.


Players need to be more aware of potential long term issues and take time to heal. Age is a non factor - Bourdon is even younger than Grossmann and may be done for good due to similar lingering effects.

That's one down.

Theoretically he could be back for a round one...of golf.

he should be done for the season. No reason to bring him back at all

i really hope that he can recover and come back next season. I was a big fan of Grossmann

I very much agree. None of the walking wounded should see game action this season, and Brière should be a healthy scratch. A buyout-negating injury would be disastrous.
