Just shut it down already... call it a career

Vancouver Canucks head coach Adam Foote has confirmed that forward Filip Chytil will miss the team's final game before the Olympic break tomorrow.

Chytil, of course, has missed a significant amount of time this season and even more so in past seasons due to concussion related symptoms. Today, Foote confirmed that indeed Chytil is suffering from migraines and there's concern that he has suffered/triggered yet another concussion.

The 26 year old Chytil has never played a full game in his 10 year NHL career and has been in and out of the lineup for both the Canucks and his previous team the New York Rangers due to concussion issues.

By my count this is the 6th concussion of Chytil's career...

At a certain point, and maybe we're at that point now, Chytil has to walk away from the sport.

He's in year three of a four year deal that pays him $4.4 million per season and he has made nearly $20 million over the course of his NHL career. Who could blame the guy if he just took his money, walked away from the sport and started a new life at the still young age of 26?
