He's UFA

I didn't think he'd officially said he retired, but then I can't read french

I like him more after reading the translated version...

while totaling 1126 minutes of punishment.

As the local francophone, it doesn't say he's retiring at any point in the article, but it does speak of his career in the past tense.

Generally we don't consider a player retired until he utters the word "retired" See Kevin Weeks as an example

Yup Spike has it right.

[Hanna Sniper]

Weeks stated publicly that he wasn't retired at the time, that he was looking for a bigger pay-day...Laraque is retired, we've all had players retired from out teams mid-season for a lot less. He's a UFA here in the league

it's delete time for big Georges... after all it would have only been Punk or myself to give him a roster spot anyways

Please ignore my UFA offer for Laraque

[JiriHrdina]

Yeah it's a good point Doug I think since he's not part of any team it is easiest just to count him retired - unless he indicates otherwise.
