Not saying it won't happen but so far all the players that have tested positive in the nhl. None have not returned to play. I haven't heard of anyone who had lasting affects from covid.

Of course, not saying it would or will happen, just that if players are feeling that way I completely get it.
The rest of the league has been a bit different, where teams have only a couple guys miss games so the team was still going, or it was nearer the start of the season so the playoffs were still viable.
The whole team is sidelined, and the playoffs are pretty much a write off. There isn't as much drive to come back, I would assume.
And a few of the guys who have had it last year and this year have said they didn't feel right for a while after. They still competed, mind you, but not in tip top form.
