Couture, accompanied by Sharks general manager Mike Grier, will hold a news conference at SAP Center to address his inability to return to the ice. League sources told The Athletic’s Chris Johnston that Couture will not officially retire, which would prevent him from being paid for the final two years of the eight-year, $64-million contract extension he signed in 2018.
