Throughout the 2024-25 season, Filip Chytil was traded to the Vancouver Canucks and a series of reports surfaced about a feud between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson, something that resulted in Chytil being dealt in a trade for Miller.
Certainly something that turned out to be a good thing for both parties as both players truly developed into the best versions of themselves, until Chytil was unfortunately injured and suffered a career threatening concussion.
A concussion is an injury that is not visible to you at first glance. For example, if you have a broken arm, everyone can see it right away and everyone knows what to do. Head injuries are tricky. That's why communication with those closest to you is very important. You can't be afraid to confide in them so that those closest to you know how you're feeling. The support from my family, from my wife and friends, has helped me a lot.
