[Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
This guy, when healthy, was underrated for fantasy value in multicat leagues.

#Isles announce that Johnny Boychuk is retiring due to the eye injury he suffered last season.
So are the #Isles still on the hook for his cap hit going forward?

Re: [Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
I don't think so. He retired. I believe as soon as it's official with the NHL the cap space is free. Wonder if they regret the Toews trade a bit more. At least this makes the Barzal signing easier...Originally Posted by Axeman33

Re: [Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
His contract status depends on whether he is in fact retiring from the NHL and opting out of his contract or just saying that he's not going to play again. My guess is that it's the latter since otherwise he's throwing away $12,000,000 in salary which is probably $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 in his pocket. I doubt he is in a position where that much money won't matter to him.
I am pretty sure he will be on the LTIR for the next 2 seasons.
Re: [Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
I thought being over 35 years of age came into it but I could be wrong.

Re: [Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
That number only matters when the contract was signed. Boychuk was only 31 when the contract was signed.

Re: [Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
The whole "does the cap count" when a guy "retires" is one of those issues that always makes my head hurt really bad.
Re: [Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
My guess is that his contract was insured (all player contracts are insured unless the player is deemed un-insurable ala Nathan Horton). Player likely completes multiple physicals and it is determined his eye will not get any better and he cannot play again. Arguably it is not safe for him to play again. Upon confirming same with the insurer he "medically retires" (or some similar term) and the insurance pays out. Under the CBA the player is retired and no longer has a cap-hit.
That is my guess. Injured Players under contract would be very reluctant to say "retire" without pre-confirmation of insurance payout as the "voluntary" nature of retirement would indicate the player has given up on rehabbing and attempting to get into game shape, which could void or reduce the insurance payout. Given its an eye injury (and presumably permanent) it's likely not something that will improve any more with time and insurance is prepared to payout. Compared to say a shoulder injury where the player has a duty to continually rehab and stay in shape in hopes of one day playing again.
Just a guess though, would love any insight on the actual situation.

I had no idea the injury was so serious. Poor guy. I know the eye isn't good enough for him to be a professional hockey player, but I hope the eye is still good enough for him to have a "normal" life.

Re: [Retirement] Johnny Boychuk
Too bad. I'm no fan of the Islanders but I always liked Boychuk's game: old school defense with enough awareness to still be effective.
