I saw that. I wonder if he suits up at all this season? Probably not. Had to believe NHL would even allow him to return with the condition he had. Huge liability issue.

Totally agree. I mean, could you imagine if he collapsed mid-game? Insanity. Maybe there's a chance he comes back next year, but he is already so old (for a professional athlete).

Tell that to Jagr. Younger players have had issues and never came back.

If you can compete at that level, then I say go for it. With him, the liability is a concern. Unless he signs a waiver but I don't think needs the money and has small kids and a nice family.

If the Caps get the okay from doctors, I guess they might let him play. What was point of even allowing him to practice? He did look pretty good I might add.
