And a unbelievably shocking to see something like this happen...
Cherepanov was the top ranked skater in all of Europe heading into the 2007 draft... and pretty much had all the signs of a can't miss prospect...
"He was close to a complete package," said Goran Stubb, NHL Director of European Scouting. "Very fast skater. He was a goal scorer and a passer.
"I think he could have been a big spectator favorite because he was that kind of player. Sometimes you could hardly notice him, but on one shift, he could do unbeliveable things with the puck -- passing, shooting, skating, extremely skillful. A finesse player with a capital 'F.'"

This is a terrible surprise, this kid was a top-tier prospect. The incident brings forth serious health care concerns in the newly formed Russian KHL.

I wonder if this is similar to Zholtok and his arrhythmia... Very sad and scary.

Damn shame.
I remember when in Detroit the same thing happened to Jiri Fischer.. sitting on the bench and had a heart attack. Weird.

My little brother plays and news like this always scares me. I found out he was having an MRI today and I wasn't sure what to think, I couldn't imagine. Rest in peace man the hockey gods will do you right up there.

This is too sad, too tragic. It's always upsetting when someone so young loses their lives before living up to their full potential. May he rest in peace.
