wow. Listen to him on Missing Curfew with OB and Upshall, pretty sure he just had a new kid too.

This is terrible news. Makes you sick to your stomach

So young with a young family. Unbelievably sad.

What were the circumstances with the Leafs drafting him?

He never played for TOR. How did he play with all the other teams? Is it because he's a college player?

They traded him two years after they drafted him to Chicago for a 2nd rounder they used on Brad Ross.

Jeez I remember his post-Draft interview talking about being a Bruins fans growing up and how he's now excited to "beat em"

Really sad.

 

[LeafSteel]

This hurts on so many levels….

Peace be with him, and strength to his wife and 2 young boys who are not going to know their dad…..

Way too young.

RIP

RIP I had such high hopes for him when we drafted him. I thought trading him to CHI was a mistake at that point in time.
