If he's been out for 2 years now, at 39 could he really come back and play at the NHL level, even if he was cleared by doctors? Who didn't know he's done for good? I guess he's just dragging out the retirement announcement to keep getting paid?

Well, that and retiring wouldn't help the Flyers out anyway.

Oh yeah. So at least he's not as much of a dick then. Unless considered from the point of the insurance company covering the contract.

Geez, was that contract even insurable? I know Pronger didn't necessarily have a Savard-like history of concussions, but I'd be very surprised if that one was covered.

I can't find that it is in fact insured. The only references I see are fans speculating that it must be insured on various hockey forums. No idea if an insurance company would have been that stupid.

If the premium is high enough, why not? They do the math.

and if it wasn't high enough they will adjust current premiums to make up for any loss no doubt.

I can't remember--weren't insurers waffling on Crosby's extension or something to that effect?
