He's 30 years old now.  His last NHL contract was with Washington in 2018-19.  

 

He played a year in Russia and 2 in the AHL since but has not played this season.

 

44-57-101 in 395 NHL games

Damn don't you need 400 NHL games for an NHL pension?

The rules have changed and you actually start accruing pension benefits after your 1st game. The maximum pension a retired NHL player can be paid at age 62 is set at $255,000 for the 21/22 season. A player would receive the maximum if he accrued 10 years of service and 820 games. Players would qualify for pensions on a pro-rated basis for fewer seasons and games.

 

If you suffer from insomnia, I would recommend you read pages 131 to 145 of the CBA which details pension funding and benefits.

 

By the way, games where you were suspended, injured, or off for approved family reason also count as games played so I think his " number of games" might be well over the 400 mark.
