I disagree with this ruling.
Just because the player retied from the NHL shouldn't mean he's retired from the CPHL.
For example Andrei Kostitsyn left the NHL last year (the odds of Ilya coming back are far higher then him getting another chance) but he was part of Islanders championship team. He was allowed to play.
The rule needs to say hockey and Ilya should be allowed to play for 3 years in the CPHl with obvious rating hits since the CPHL is based on NHL play.
