That's a shame. I heard he was having heart problems similar to Steve Konowalchuk and Jiri Fischer last I heard... could be true.

Haven't heard much since the initially revealed the problem a few weeks back, but this is a very puzzling situation.

It's happened 3 times in less than a year.

I hope he does well in his new position.
