Even Nisky knows he's done so some of you can stop pretending like he's still good.
Thank you Nisky for the cup and enjoy retirement.

I was one of those folks. And, yeah, his career was definitely derailed by shoulder surgery, cancer, and a slew of other injuries. His first two seasons he looked like the real deal, but then the health problems doomed it all.I'm old enough to remember when people here wanted us to draft Maatta over Wilson in 2012.
I do think his career would have turned out far differently if he hadn't gotten hurt a bunch.
$5.75M, not $7.5MI get not wanting to deal with uncertainty but man, tough to walk away from $7.5 million for one year of work.
It's not just leaving them in the middle of the season. It's also exposing your body to the risk of potential life altering head injuries. It's committing to a season that we don't know how many games will be played, where they will be played, when they will be played, and what type of COVID precautions will be in place. It's committing to getting into game shape again the pre-season, despite all the COVID risks associated with gyms and hockey rinks.
At a certain point, it's understandable to say, "Hey, I've already got enough financial security to live comfortably for the rest of my life, maybe I don't need to expose myself to this anymore."
Good for Karl. I read an article last year about how being buried in Laval was wearing on him and that management told him if he was making less money he'd be in Montreal playing with the Habs but because of cap reasons they sent him down. Wonder if he latches on somewhere on a one year deal for the vet minimum.Alzner being bought out by Montreal.
