I don't give a shit if you liked him as a GM or not but there's no denying the quality of human he is. That guy cares about people.

He's the best off-ice GM I've ever seen.  It's the reason I was conflicted about him being let go.

Thanks for sharing that, herman.  Everyone stepped up for him.  But it sounds like he had no chance from the moment of diagnosis.  He handled it magnificently.  An impressive man.

And Dubas, again, shows he's got real empathy.  Another impressive man.
 
Not long ago, in the last few weeks, I was searching for information on how he was doing.
Hammered by this horrific news.

Maple Leafs Prospect Rodion Amirov's No. 27 to be Retired by KHL Club Following Passing
https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs/news/salavat-yulaev-ufa-to-retire-rodion-amirovs-jersey-number-following-passing

Nice gesture by Salavat Yulaev Ufa

Grateful the Leafs tried to get him on the ice. Nice note by Dubas

He was surrounded by caring people.
 
Thanks Herman,

This part shows how Dubas is an amazing human.
"
Dubas really wanted to fulfill that dream - for Rodion to play in the NHL. After all, the Maple Leafs selected him at the 2020 draft in the first round at number 15. And when Amirov came to Canada last fall, there was a preseason game of Toronto against Ottawa.

Dubas had already made an agreement with the Senators, Rodion was going to go out on the ice and play as much as he could. We had already arranged visas for his parents to fly to Canada, too. Unfortunately, he couldn't manage it. He didn't have enough strength, his coordination wasn't right - he couldn't stand on his skates. But you can find photos of Rodion waving to the audience and hockey players in the arena."

Devastating News.

Rip kid.

Thanks for sharing that, herman.  Dubas picked a remarkable young man, not just a remarkable hockey player.
 
Still so sad. He would be the perfect LW about now.....RIP Rodion
