diesel_3 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 When he was with Minnesota, he was DEADLY. His shot was crazy, he was a Canuck killer early in his career...I'll always remember his pure skill. Solid career! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckinEdm Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Tampa must be able to keep their cap circumvention under check without his LTIR money lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ey40 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 One of the Canucks killer in the early 2000 while playing for the Wild! Enjoy retirement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like WTF? It looks like this is a case where he was still under contract but physically unable to play. As long as he didn't file retirement papers he would still collect his $3M per year. His final (7 year) deal ran out at the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think he retired too soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Wow.... took him long enough to make it official... the last time I remembered this guy was when he was in a Wild jersey and terrorizing us!! must have been at least 10+ yrs ago!

jatylo Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 He and Nilsson really carried Tampa during the last playoffs. Glad Montreal fans pointed it out that the team was over the cap with their contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Lets never forget the time he bought a house in the Lower Mainland and everybody thought he was going to sign with the Canucks in the summer of 2009 but instead he signed with the Rangers. GOOD TIMES. But in all seriousness, he's been in LTIR for years and I think his contract just expired this summer so this announcement makes sense. He had a great career that was derailed by injuries at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTIR is not a hack, for infinite moneys. alll LTIR does is replace the player, the only way its considered a hack is if it was exaclty kucherovs situation LAST year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed like the only guy on that Minny team with offensive skill but would kill us each time we played them. Happy retirement to a heck of a player.

King Heffy Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 He was a really fun player to watch in his prime. Hopefully he enjoys his retirement in as good health as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 One of the more talented players to play throughout the 2000's, his skill level was off the charts and he was one of the few bright lights on that boring Minnesota team. His career numbers don't reflect the talent he had, they really don't. Injuries hampered his production, and likely his ability to produce as his career went on. Him and Demitra was pretty great together, RIP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
