I see. So then the question becomes what will Shea Weber the stand up guy do? Also, wouldn't the NHLPA check to see if the player can actually play? If he has a foot injury that doesn't heal after 2 years doesn't that signal he will never return? I can't remember how they handled Pronger. How long was he on LTIR? I'm sure it wasn't for 6 years.
EDIT: Now that I think about it he was on LTIR for a long time. And the same with the TO twins, Clarkson and Horton. Luongo was the only one dumb enough to retire, but I guess Florida is now paying him to come into work with a suit on so he didn't care and didn't give a sh*t about the Canucks situation. Luongo should never should be put into the ring of honour, never mind retire his jersey, just for this bs alone...
