Rick Dhaliwal gave an update on his status earlier today. The NHLPA's boss Marty Walsh was on the show yesterday. He broke his hand in November, the expected timeline was 4 weeks, and now the latest reports on his health aren't positive:
As Dhaliwal stated, he's now back home in Ontario rehabbing in hopes of fully recovering. The insider reiterated that this was a situation unlike anything he had ever seen in 27 years of covering the team.
Today, a switch has been made in the thinking where the ongoing belief is that this may be the end of his career. As noted by Rick Dhaliwal, Pearson is a very well-liked player in Vancouver's dressing room. This is an extremely sad turn of events for the 30-year-old veteran.
