My recollection is that when he left Nashville, he signed with Detroit but never played. They found a heart issue. My guess is this is somehow related. I will never forget how excited he was for the fans when the team finally made the playoffs. He was on the radio, just bubbling--"oh you guys are just going to LOVE this!" I'm glad I went to hear him speak along with Vokoun a couple of years ago. RIP Captain.
