If he doesn't play for the rest of the season, he'll likely get a medical retirement. He's skating, so the main concern at this time is bleeding if he's still on anticoagulants. If they can't take him off of them, he will likely never play hockey again.
Anyway, I mentioned about trading him with a minor asset (if he's ever medically cleared to play again) because the asset going with him could help to grease the wheels of the trade. Strangely enough, Ottawa could be a good landing place for him (let's say, for example, Stone and a 3rd for a 4th), as they will need help reaching the cap floor, and a player with one remaining contract year may be the ideal candidate to do that.
