Diagnosed with liver failure
Emelin is suffering from acute liver failure and will need a liver transplant, Sport-Express reports.
ANALYSIS
Emelin last played in the NHL back in 2017-18, when he logged 76 games with the Predators and garnered one goal on 59 shots, eight assists and 181 hits while averaging 16:53 of ice time. At 34 years of age, the blueliner has almost certainly played his final game in the NHL and may have to consider retiring altogether based on his medical condition.

The Predators acquired Emelin from the Golden Knights last summer, and leaned on him heavily in the first half of the season when Ryan Ellis was on the shelf following knee surgery. However, once Ellis returned to action in the second half, Emelin quickly fell out of favor with the Preds. He was a healthy scratch for three of the team's last four playoff games, and during the offseason, GM David Poile indicated Emelin would not be back. Now an unrestricted free agent, Emelin will look to catch on with a new team for the 2018-19 campaign.
