Short version: A prospect that a lot of people were very high on (maybe not one of our "A" group, but right at the top of the "B" list) has apparently decided, on the verge of his first pro year out of Junior, to quit hockey entirely. He informed his agent, agent informed the team, family apparently doesn't know why and they're going to be discussing it with him.
The article makes it sound like this has been building for a bit, but from most people who'd seen him at our prospect camp or playing up in Niagara, this is seriously out of left field. (Hell, including me - he was spending a fair bit of time talking and joking with people when he was in public at the prospect camp!)
If he's really done, I'm very sorry for him - I hope things work out for him. I really liked how he played in the world championships and Super Series, and was really looking forward to rooting for him one day in the Nat.
