NY Rangers Prospect Cherepanov dies during KHL game.

The New York Rangers selected Alexei Cherepanov in the first round, 17th overall in the 2007 draft.
He died today in the third period of a KHL game. He collapsed on the bench and died a short time later. He was 19 years old.
I remember Cherepanov so well from the draft and knew he was going to be a great player. My prayers go out to his family and friends.
