The voting methodology is fair IMO. I did get burnt by this with Byfuglien, but thanks Scorp for taking him on and Jiri for helping me out too.
I agree with Jiri that it is tough to apply the same rule to every retirement because we have seen many players “retire” or go on long term injury etc and then come back and play (Williams, Niedermayer etc) or players constantly in the lurch (Byfuglien) Maybe we can do that if they miss a whole season, it is a different situation? They will probably get a playable rating for the first year, in any case.
