Just speculating of course. Could just as easily be he lost his passion for the sport and let the staff know he's not interested in continuing a playing career. I can respect that; even pro athletes know when it's time for a change.

There was a statement that said it wasn't health issues, but I wonder actually if it's both health and not health related? (ie: Healthy day to day, but not healthy enough for NHL level)
For instance, he's perfectly OK when not doing strenuous physical activity, but once he started getting up to NHL level, things started to kick in and it wasn't pleasant mentally? (ie: Pronger who was reasonably fine day to day, but couldn't get up to NHL level without serious effects?)
