There's a process to officially retire from the NHL for pension purposes. A mere formality in Stajan's case, but still unofficial nonetheless.

I got the the impression from media reports and such that a lot of the younger Flames revered Stajan, that imparted a great deal of wisdom on how to be a pro. I think he'd be well-suited to a developmental or associate coach role.
