I would think forced retirement is likely worse. 65 as a retirement age made sense a generation or so ago but is now basically an arbitrary number. Why not work until 70 if you are motivated and good at your job? Is that person really taking a job away from a recent grad? Doubtful.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
