Best GM in Colorado sports history and it ain’t even close. No other guy could have pulled off the trades he did. Just...very, very sad news.

I’m the rare fan who got to see my favorite all time player win it all in my hometown. Not many people get to say that and it’s because Pierre Lacroix swooped in and changed what was a surefire narrative and snatched Ray Bourque out from under the Philadelphia Flyers.

Adrian Dater wrote a column on Lacroix. The exact cause of death was a heart attack. It appears likely it was a complication of his recent bout with COVID-19 but there's no confirmation of this.

Quote:
The bitter, ultimate irony about Lacroix’s life was that he had, in recent years, gotten back to robust, full health after some serious medical issues, including a bout with cancer. He was enjoying life in retirement, especially doting on his three grandchildren. He and Coco, in fact, spent the Thanksgiving holiday in the Boston area visiting grandson Max, who plays prep hockey there and currently is living in the home of Ray Bourque. Some time shortly after, however, Lacroix contracted the coronavirus. He was overcoming it, however, but on Sunday morning, Eric Lacroix said, he suffered a fatal heart attack. Whether that was connected to the virus or not is unclear.

Terrible news.
