Before Brad Treliving became the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, he was the long-time GM of the Calgary Flames. Even though he didn't leave Calgary on the best of terms, some things are bigger than the game of hockey.
Kelsie, Chris's wife made a heartbreaking post yesterday about Chris going into cardiac arrest and having to be rushed to the hospital unresponsive. Doctors do not expect Chris to regain consciousness.
Despite the timing, Brad Treliving made the decision that he needs to be there to support his friend and his family. With so many decisions to be made about the Leafs roster, many would expect Treliving's focus to be on the team, but instead it is right where it should be, with one of his best friends.
