So it's very possible that Zdeno Chara (1996), Joe Thornton, and Patrick Marleau (both 1997) all hang it up this offseason. We already know Ryan Miller (1999) has officially called it a career. That means, unless I'm missing someone, every single player drafted in the 20th Century will be done.
Also, it appears the draft classes of '96 and '97 outlasted '98 by a fair margin, and that 2000 is also pretty much done UNLESS Henrik Lundqvist attempts a comeback (I kinda hope he doesn't for his own health's sake).
