If someone retires mid-season I think we either make them retire right away with no cap penalty OR we wait until the off-season to retire them, but then that player has to be bought out. If they retire in the off-season then they need to be bought out and do not play the upcoming season.

Limit the pain to 1 thing...either you lose the player or the cap, depending on the timing, but not both.

I think this applies to all retired players including LTIR and whatever the next loophole is. Everyone knows when someone is done. If for whatever reason a case emerges where the player comes back, then maybe that team is credited back the cap and the player, should they desire him?
