He needs to prove on a balance of probabilities, that the assault by Bertuzzi caused him the damages he claims ($15 million in pecuniary damages for loss of income, $1 million for aggravated damages and $2 million in punitive damages.). What was his salary for while he played? He will need to prove his longevity for that period of time, and considering he was a C grade player at best, that could be the linchpin of the case. What was his salary? Years left on contract when he was injured?

Perhaps his career was over at the end of the season anyway (minus time spent lurking in the AHL)

Well there IS a limit on these kinds of things, so I can see him filing it at the last minute... but that case in Colorado got thrown out a long time ago, and he WAITED until now to file, during the Olympics... What a knob.
