say an older player goes to the KHL or an overseas league will that be considered similar to retirement? I am thinking someone like Hasek that is still playing but really has no intention to ever return to the NHL. Maybe we should have a stipulation if they are say over 35 and bolt for the K then they would be considered retired but under 35 you are still stuck with their contract.
Maybe if the player is out of the NHL for at least 1 year then they could be considered retired for our purposes. Turco played in the EE last year but signed with the Bruins when Rask went down. 35+ years old and out of the league for a full season = retired. Sound good?
We have no concrete ruling on this, but we did discuss it last year. Here's the convo:Seem fair?
