The articles I've read are blaming it on him listening to the wrong people; i.e. agents who tried to get too much money. The articles were written recently and he says he is over it and he is happily married, which is good. But still, if you are drafted five times I don't know how you wouldn't take one of the later ones just so you can play in the major leagues. God knows if a NHL team came to me and said "We'll give you twenty bucks and a Snickers if you play goalie for us for one game" that I would jump for it.
Well then he's a Christian. Only person who could say they are at peace with something like that is a Christian. Seriously.
