He still seems incredibly arrogant.

I guess I probably have too high expectations maybe.
I got the same vibe.

This is his second article on this player's tribune. Why does he keep contributing, he's been out of the game for years.

The reason he retired was less romantic and nuanced than his narrative.

He got demoted to the ECHL and quit. He "threw his skates into the Hudson River" - his words.
