Sounds like #Canucks Brock Boeser's blood clot developed in his leg, something team medical staff found after Game 6.

He has been placed on blood thinning medication and is not expected to be available to play again this season.

Brutal break for #Canucks' leading goal scorer.

hope for a full recovery in the offseason

This doesn't drop his trade value, does it?

Pulled from Twitter

In the NHL, with one case almost every year, we are closer to 1 in 700 or 800. The trend pre-dates COVID and has been noticeable for 15+ yrs (Timonen, Vokoun, Fleischmann, Ortmeyer, McCormick, Dupuis, Postma, Cervenka, Vasilevskiy, Silfverberg, Stamkos, Kreider, among others).

Pretty common. Not seeing how it will drop his trade value. Plus we ain’t trading him. Boeser wants to stay here.

I had the same thing decades ago when I was in top physical condition.

Twas the result of a knee injury and/or the surgery to fix dat dere.

In my case the blood clot resulted in a pulmonary embolism.

I was on blood thinners for half a year.

Couldn't do much in the way of physical activity for the first couple of months.

(bruising and pain would occur throughout my bod due to the blood thinners)

After a few months I felt perfectly fine... and have never had further issues.

I imagine the science has improved since then... and we know pro athletes get special care.

For instance, I notice Vasilevskiy only missed 3 weeks with a blood clot back in 2015.

It's more than likely Brock will be fine for training camp.

But there is also a possibility it could end his career:
