I think he is still okay for this year...He has to officially retire from hockey in order to be deemed ineligible, or play two consecutive years in Europe from what I understand.# Considering that with expansion on the horizon, and rumors that they may extend the rules to three years in Europe to lose CPHL eligibility, the only effect this may have is that the Canes lose the last year of his contract.

Wow...I started to post based on the old rule that, once he retires in the
NHL, he retires at the same time in the CPHL. Planning to quote the rule, I went to the page and found that they have already reworded the rule as a result of the Salo situation. Nothing if not efficient. With the way it's now worded, it looks like Sylvanfan is right.
