Players not returning

[Tyler]

What is our policy for guys staying oversea's? IE: I ahve Visnovsky and he isn't reporting to the isles. What are my options?

Thanks

We have no concrete ruling on this, but we did discuss it last year.  Here's the convo:

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?

Seem fair?

fair enough, prob buy him out anyways seeing hes on his last year of a contract and I have lots of cap space. Right now a roster spot is more valuable than the cap space!!
