I think it's pretty obvious that he'll either play for the Ducks or retire, and given his age, 1 year deals are probably all him, his agent or the Ducks want. There's no mystery or song and dance he gives. At 43 and being one of the most incredible players ever, I think he's earned a couple months to decide whether or not he can still play.
Or if he still wants to. If I was a 43 year old millionaire I'd probably be sipping margaritas on a beach somewhere.
