He may not be happy sticking around in the NHL as a 4th line calibre player. Could probably find some nagging injury to LTIRetire on. Brett Hull retired early in the season in a similar situation (although now the meta is to go on LTIR and collect the rest of your fat contract before retiring)

HAHA this is never going to happen..
The only hope is we can retain $2mill and trade him away.
I'm hopeful this organization has finally learned - Raymond, Brouwer, Neal, Kadri - and will never do this again.
How many times do you need to strike out to realize it doesn't work?
You only consider going down this path, IMO, if the player has been a elite/1st line player their whole career.
Continuing to do this for 2nd/3rd liners is madness!
