Last season he was at least able to get some time on the Kings, not a playoff team though. This season, not even a sniff of interest even though he'd cost no assets to acquire.
Considering he thought he could put off the surgery long enough to perhaps get an offer close to the deadline, I would think this is a bit of a wake up call for him, that his time in the league is drawing to a close despite his career and name. His practicing with the Providence Bruins was leaked to try and draw up some hype (which it did with certain fanbases) but ultimately he's left sitting out again.
He'd better take whatever opportunity he can get even if it's a PTO or 10-15 games on a non-playoff team.
