Rumour: Ryan Kesler might be Retiring

[Legion34]

Hahahqhqahahahah.

I burst out laughing. Well played

 

[I am not exposed]

Hockey has retired from Ryan Kessler a long time ago.

That's cool. But what about Ryan Kesler?

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Hall Of Very Annoying-bound.

 

[I am not exposed]

Any chance he gets inducted into the Hall of fame?

No. Very good player, but not a chance.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

He will have a genuine LTIR retirement

 

[kovnik]

Left on bad terms with the Nucks, still was a huge part of our team's success for a long while. Enjoy it Kes.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

That's cool. But what about Ryan Kesler?

"Check mate atheists!"

 

[PBandJ]

And nothing of value will be lost.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Any chance he gets inducted into the Hall of fame?

Literally zero.

One 40 goal season, nowhere close to the Hart trophy, was always a #2 center, no championships.

 

[KPower]

Most honest hard workin player in the league. Single handedly sent the oilers back to bein a lottery team.

Single handedly sent two teams to the lotttery. What a player.

He'd be way smarter to go to that Dr that Diagnosed Hossa as being allergic to hockey gear but not regular clothes.

If he needs directions, the doctor now is semi-retired on Robidas Island and spends most of his time at the Zetterberg Beach Resort right on the corner of Horton Street and Clarkson Avenue. It's just a few blocks past Bolland Boulevard, you can't miss it. A new tour guide, a Mr. Luongo, is said to be arriving soon to show him around, and Mr. Gaborik and Mr. Grabovski at the front desk will answer any questions he might have. But he would watch out for that tall guy named Pronger -- he's there to steal luggage and any extra pucks that might be laying around.

 

[RalphKing]

Any chance he gets inducted into the Hall of fame?

Probably not. Not even 600 points, no cups, etc. He was obviously very good for 5 or so years but that doesn't get you in.

Many of those large contracts were insured for long term injury and the franchise to my understanding in sports contracts that are insured at approx 60% of value. So the Ducks get 12 million of the 20 million to offset that exposure.

I remember reading or hearing that it was 80%

Who knew he was referring to himself in this comment?

“No human can withstand that many hits,” Kesler said.

Kesler on wearing down Chicago: ‘No human can withstand that many hits’

 

[LMFAO]

Retire with over $20,000,000 salary left on that deal? I doubt it.

Kesler struggles to get out of bed in the morning at that point. You think he'd play 3 more years in the NHL? He's going to LTIRetirement

Everyone knew that throwing the body wasn't the way to beat the Hawks. What a fool.

yeah, it's not like Lupul where he was injury prone and it's used an excuse. If you read his SI piece, the guy is in a ****load of pain

 

[Terry Yake]

absolutely zero reason for him to continue trying to play

 

[kesboss]

This was pretty awesome and Kesler even replied to her.

 

[crowi]

Cap space is great and all, but I do feel bad for the guy. He always gave his all in any team he played in - be that U.S national team, Ducks, Canucks, junior etc. Shit, I didn't like him most of his career due to that as it was against team I did like.
Hope he gets past the pain.

 

[Nick Hansen]

Bet he despises the Sedins for playing like coward during their run.

 

[Yog S'loth]

Hey, remember that one time he scored 40 goals? Heh heh, remember? And then he got paid for the rest of his life like he did it every year?

THAT WAS AWESOME!

 

[Taluss]

Why the hate on him. The guy did a shit ton to get 1000 games and where he is

 

[Saitama]

Good riddance. Can he take Perry with him?

Someone on the Ducks board said it was confirmed to be 80% insured.
