After putting up 81 points in 187 games with the Leafs, his time was sadly cut short when he suffered two concussions in a 30 day period during the 2021-22 season. He then played in only 4 games the following season as the injuries continued to pile up. That would prove to be his final season as an NHL player, as he retired at the end of the 2022-23 season.
