Whatever Kipper decides is ok in my books. If he wants to retire, great. If he wants to come back for another season, I'd welcome that too. Could be a benefit having a veteran keeper around in our first full season of a rebuild, even if he's sharing duties with a younger goalie. Right now Kipper's decision has minimal impact on the team and he should just do what's right for his life and career. He's always going to be a respected Flames icon.
