Seems relatively unanimous so we will go with option 1 with one modification. This rule will be effective at the start of week 5. I am also adding a death amendment to the rules as well.NEW RULE:Option 1:A) Retired Players Under ContractIf a player retires and they are still under contract, they still have to be compensated. They would be owed 50% of their remaining contract. Therefore is Nicklas Lidstrom retires and has a contract of $5.0m (2013-14, 2 more years), would then be owed $2.5m x 2 years. This could be paid out all in one year or up to the max of years remaining on the contract.If a player retires in majors or minors they must be compensated under this rule. The player can not be left on roster, they must be paid their 50% compensation at time of retirement.B) Players Moving LeaguesThey follow the above rule as well except that the GM can choose to keep the player in case they decide to come back to the NHL. These players may also be waived to the minors if in the last year of their contracts.C) DeathIf a player dies while still under contract their contract becomes null and void. Therefore the player would be released off the team and no cost.
Maybe we could add a stipulation that if a players retires under a certain age its a 25% discount. This would be nice for unexpected players retiring early. What do you think?
What are some players say under 30 that have retired lately? Seeing if this would be warranted and can't think of many off the top of my head.
