He only needs to be under contract with the team, so he can return to the lineup any time.If he’s not on the roster by the trade deadline, he can’t be on the team post season. I think someone mentioned that earlier.

Ahh, my bad.He only needs to be under contract with the team, so he can return to the lineup any time.

Not accurate. He’s suspended but under contract. See Radulov who returned to Nashville for the playoffs after being suspended all season.
He can be placed on LIR, playoffs is cap exempt so we could pick up a player, and be compliant in the playoffs. If he comes back. If he's healthy etc.If he’s not on the roster by the trade deadline, he can’t be on the team post season. I think someone mentioned that earlier.
So at what point do we say, he is done for the season? We are already at 47 games. You would think he would need at least 3 weeks when he would hit the ice for the first time. That would put the Jets at around 56 games if he started now. What do we think is the cutoff? Would he want to come back for only 20 games especially with playoffs not a certain thing? Personally I think we already hit the cutoff considering he has played under 20 games in the last 13 months. I think he has already adjusted to life without hockey.

Depends on what Buff has been doing. If he's been doing the rehab he's needed to to be in shape to get back on the ice or not.
Assuming he wants to come back at all, why not come back for 20 games? If the team is in the thick of a race it should be exciting times, and he might be just the right lift the team needs. Even if the team is out of it, why not come back for 20 games with no pressure to shake the rust off for next year?
Insurance companies will play a part in this, too. Assuming Buff's contract is insured, who pays if he isn't able to resume his career? If players are allowed to just decide not to continue playing and claiming injury, then insurance companies will stop insuring contracts, or make the costs very high and rules much more stringent.
