08:27 AM ET 02.13 | Suffering, again, from the effects of a concussion, Pierre-Marc Bouchard hasn't yet given up hope on a return to the ice this season, though it does seem unlikely as the Wild continues to lose ground. The most important thing for Bouchard, the Wild's third-leading scorer in history with 327 points in 522 games, is to get healthy. He has one more year left on his five-year, $20.4 million contract that pays him $4.3 million next year. Bouchard just wants to feel normal again, and he admits, he's starting to worry about his future. Asked if there will come a point where he thinks about retirement, Bouchard said: "For sure, at one point, if you keep having concussions, it would be kind of not smart to keep going."
