He is not going to retire and forfeit the remaining money on his contract. He will either come back and play or he will be on LTIR until his contract is up, that’s the only 2 scenarios that will play out

It’s been 3 years. If they decide to stop humoring him they’re not going to face any penalty from the league. There’s no way he can play or more importantly pass a physical. I don’t even think the PA would file a grievance on his behalf. Everyone knows he’s done but him. Yet for some reason management is still allowing this charade to continue.

Landy isn’t holding anyone “hostage”; they’ve use his LTIR money every year at the TDL. There really isn’t anything else they can do until he makes the decision to never play again or give it a go, based on his injury status. If they “force” him to LTIRetire, there could be some serious cap recapture penalties so they have to wait.

Wow, already with the doom and gloom! I’m actually impressed. Also, anyone who has watched the NHL at all the last 30 years can tell you that making the playoffs is the most important thing, because anything can happen there – like once upon a time, the 8th seeded LA Kings getting hot at the right time and winning the Cup.

Yes, the boys are in the playoff hunt but that doesn’t mean anything anymore. What good is it to squeeze into the playoffs with 1 and half scoring lines and a patchwork blueline outside of Toews and Makar?

If the boys start off slow in the next two days then dump Mitts, Wood and Colton for picks and prospects. Screw this mess that CMAC made without addressing the 2C spot, 2nd D pairing or lack of finishers on the wing.
