Nope. Still his choice. Always will be.
If you're going through the trouble to take Spezza on waivers when he's playing well, I think you're taking him to play him. Now, no GM is probably going to do that, but, no, it would be Spezza's choice to retire. You signed an NHL contract, subject to the rules and regulations of the league, not an exclusive Toronto Maple Leafs contract. Maybe in your mind you signed an exclusive contract, but, yeah, that's not real.
Maybe the Leafs shouldn't be putting the guy on waivers if he wants to be there so much. Maybe the Leafs need to not disrespect a class and respected player, by using him to manipulate the cap.
Again. You aren’t taking him to play for you……. If he won’t play for you. You are taking him to stick it to another team. and end a career to make a point.
there is a reason why it hasn’t happened and it won’t. Managers of big companies don’t do that.
