Wish him well, he has a family to take care of so he should definitely consider hanging them up... If it isn’t concussion related you know the team or his agent will say so. If we don’t get details, we know it is the return of symptoms. I have the same vestibular/visual tracking issues as he has from repeated concussions. This type of format without screaming crowds is as ideal a situation as he could ask for. If he can’t do this low key type of game as far as stimulation goes, then he would be smart to just call it a career now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Didn't Ferland recently say that his problem was actually an inner ear issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 TSN reports similar - left the bubble, done for this series at least, and is concussion-related. He kept pushing and has had to leave hockey three times this year - he needs to take at least a full year off, if not just call it quits now.

Popular Post skategal Posted August 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 I feel so badly for him, can't imagine how devastated he must be to have worked so hard and hoped so hard he would be able to play. I hope he does whatever is right for him after getting the best medical input available. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracksuit Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Left the bubble with concussion like symptoms. Done for Atleast the summer. what a bummer Really hoped he was on the mend for his sake. This is a guy that needs to think long and hard about the future and his quality of life. I had vertigo for 1 full year headaches eyes not focusing dizzy spells. Life sucked a bank full of money wouldn’t have made it suck less since I was unable to enjoy simple things like walking.

I really hope this isn’t true and that it was from blocking a shot. For the Canucks sake but more importantly for Ferland and his family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The one bright spot of game 1. Shame he has had such rotten concussion luck. Would be nice if he just retired but that's alotta money to walk away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his health forced him off the ice he can not play but collect $9.5m over the next 3 years. Or not play and collect his basic pension. (Which will not be $3+m a year.). Which option would you choose? Edited August 6, 2020 by qwijibo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If he does call it quits aka LTIR it would free up 3.5M. Gives us some cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not as simple as freeing up $3.5m in cap space. They’d still need to work around it to be cap compliant with his cap hit on the books when the season starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to LTIR They are allowed to retire on LTIR... same as Pronger and other players. He gets paid his LTIR money, but is medically retired and not attempting a return to play. You keep posting that retiring for medical reasons means he doesn’t collect the rest of his contract. That just isn’t the case.
