I assume he clears and then retires. I doubt he will take the assignment to the AHL. Not because he doesn't want to play but because of the personal reasons others here have stated. I would hope at that time the Flames can find a role for him in the organization.
I'm not shocked that he's been waived but I am a little surprised with how quickly the enforcer role died this year. It had been discussed for some time now, as something we would see slowly die out but it seems the entire league just stood up and said "its over" this season.
