A 1% chance is better than no chance.

Good for him. I know I wouldn't want to be a punching bag for 60K a year or whatever you get in the AHL. He can focus on getting a decent job in his post hockey career and go from there.

I wish him the best.

70K a year in the AHL but would you do it for his NHL salary of $660K a year?

Myself no, because I like my brains to remain as is, but I can see why someone would for 660K per year.

Maybe more details will come. If it's due to health reasons you definitely have to respect that.

I know, we totally won that trade. Major over payment by the Ducks.

Best of luck Lane. Thanks for costing the Flames a 6th round pick for your early retirement.

Maybe we can start trading for hockey players now instead of wasting picks on goons.
