Not sure of the legitamacy of this but if true its very sad news for one Demitry Vorbiev.

Update on Dmitri Vorobiev

I have gotten a lot of emails and people getting in touch with me this morning regarding a report on a KHL website regarding Maple Leafs prospect defenseman Dmitri Vorobiev.

Upon digging further into the subject, it looks as though the report is legitimate, and Vorobiev is out indefinitely with a heart condition that was discovered after a cardiogram test. Vorobiev has relocated to Moscow to be evaluated further. At this point, speculating what the exact injury is and the severity of it would be unprofessional. All we can really do is wish Dmitri well in a speedy recovery, and give thanks that the people in the KHL are beginning to take the medical procedures more seriously.
