Injury aside, he played 15 years in the NHL. That should have been enough to financially set him up for life. At the end of his career when he was showing signs of problems, where were the people like his agent, family or friends to help him keep his assets? If he blew his wad after retiring that's unfortunate that others didn't step in and help him protect himself, if he didn't have a wad to blow that's not only unfortunate but idiotic.
