The club kept it very hush hush I think, but Sam Lansberger mentioned it on the HS online site on the night of the draft (said that some clubs were surprised he was taken as early as he was because of concerns about it), but it was quickly removed from his article, so maybe we asked them to take that part down.
In one of the photo's of him in Utah he had the dressing on it still and apparently he could be seen in the background of one of the intro interview video's (of someone else that we drafted in the ND) with a cast on it, in his first week at the club. Pretty sure he had his hands behind his back in his video interview, so I would suggest that was to keep it hidden.
If you click on the photo of him on this page, you can see that he had it wrapped up during the season this year (if it was his left wrist): http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page ... D=20802048
The clubs were apparently all aware of the issue prior to the draft, so I expect we would have done due diligence on it and believed it was going to be OK.

Just a bit off topic, but when I went looking for that photo that shows his wrist wrapped up I found this photo which I hadn't seen before, which is very impressive!: http://www-static2.spulsecdn.net/pics/0 ... 40_1_O.jpg
