Risk/Reward - that's why I like it. That GM can get out of that if he is able to move him in the league - which means their probably has to have some value left. Make a bad decision, get punished. I understand that this season there have been some unexpected retirees but don't let 1 bizarre season paint the entire picture.

It's still so subjective and speculative. We are a sim hockey league and not in direct conversation with the player or his agent so we really have no idea what is going on outside a couple twitter posts.
It's time to take it away. Some players we suspect may retire and others come out of the blue.
The cost of losing that player is enough IMO.
