Deep breath everyone.

I believe this is still a bit of a grey area in our league when it should be black and white.

Both sides have legit points. I think there is a simple solution here if we just take a step back and think about it for a moment.

Any legit retirement news whether actually retired or riding out on IR, than they are retired. In the event that player actually comes back, the team that had said player gets first right of refusal.

Is it that simple?

If so, some GMs are happy to rid themselves of a plug and some are upset because they lose a key player. BUT if we decide that it’s the GM discretion to retire player immediately or end of CPHL season it should work.

Not a rule change, it’s a rule modification.
