Why are all these players retiring while they're still great, and in Niedermayer's case in their prime??? I can understand Foppa not wanting to be on and off the IR, but look at some of these guys that are thinking about retiring. Niedermayer playoff MVP and tied for first in points by a D-man. Selanne third overall in goals this past season. Why do these guys want to quit? When did players become so obsessed with the ego that surrounds their "legacy" that they want to give up on what they love. Look at Chelios he's old yeah, but he loves hockey more than he loves him self so he's staying with it as long as they'll let him. I sincerely hope that players are remembered for they're skill while they were in their prime, their sportsmanship, and their respect for the game, not by what the last thing they ever did. Quitting while you’re ahead is great in poker, but this is hockey.
