#1 pick gets a concussion.

And this why I prefer that good players no go to any international competitions.

NHL top pick Ekblad sidelined with concussion

Can't put these guys in a bubble. Injuries can happen just about anywhere. He could get a concussion on his first day of training camp. Or hitting a rut while just skating and hitting the ice with his head. His odds of getting a concussion at international competitions are most likely higher than being in a car accident and getting injured. Too bad for the kid but he'll be ready for training camp.
