I agree with Jiri that it is tough to apply the same rule to every retirement because we have seen many players “retire” or go on long term injury etc and then come back and play (Williams, Niedermayer etc) or players constantly in the lurch (Byfuglien) Maybe we can do that if they miss a whole season, it is a different situation? They will probably get a playable rating for the first year, in any case.

So if they all are retired and the team that player was on gets first right of refusal, doesn’t that solve our problem?
I don’t see this as being any different than when I lost Kovalchuk to the KHL. I was mad. BUT the league decided I had first right of refusal when he returned to the NHL. Every GM bid on him and I either matched it or I didn’t.
This can be the same thing.
