Doc Emerick Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 A public leave of absence would be a strange note to go out on. But at the same time I don't want to see him just be a 5 game rental guy that hops around the League just for the sake of hitting 700 as remarkable as that number is. My guess is hes starting second guess that whole goal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Was stupid of him to sign in the first place. Could've ended his legacy in perfection but for some reason made a dumb decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer, the same reason you sit on on your ass and do nothing all day. I don't know, probably because the greats play for the love the game and that's why they play, not for the legacy. For the money. You honestly think he playing for the money? Well he's not ... obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
