Hello, just to follow up the difference between Palffy and Kovalchuk is as follows:
Palffy retired from hockey with
no intention of resuming play because of an injury. Looking at his retirement arcitles, he was done and even withdrew from the national team.
Kovalchuk, on the other hand, is retiring from the NHL and will sign with a KHL team anyday now. He also has already said he looks forward to playing in the Olympics and in order to do that you have to be playing hockey somewhere.
Is it not the same situation at all.
Please keep this in mind while you consider my appeal.
Thanks.
