Retire.... Please

1. Jeremy Roenick.
I put him first on my list solely due to the fact I personally love the guy, and all he's done in the NHL. There comes a time in every player's career that it's time to fold the cards, and leave the game with their reputation intact.

Jeremy Roenick isn't doing that. If the lockout year affected anyone more, please let me know. My boy Roenick went from being a dominant force in Philly, capped off by sending the Leafs home with that OT goal, to becoming a useless player in the NHL.

He went to LA and scored 9 goals in 58 games, in a campaign he admits was horrible. Then he went on to promise that he'd be the comeback player of the year. Yet he didn't back that sentiment up when he had a chance to pick himself as a wildcard on TSN's NHL panel fantasy draft.

Apparently he was as smart as the rest of the panel, because he's now on track for 4 goals this year.

Roenick was a great player that used to slap home 40-50 goals every year for 4 years. Now he's not even a shell of his former self - people forget he even existed. The best highlights of JR are in his commentary on sports shows. Hang up the blades man, and get on to broadcasting. Even Brett Hull knew when he was starting to suck, and called it quits after 9 games.

JR has a great future in broadcasting, a new Don Cherry. So, stop playing, people are more interested these days in hearing Roenick speak than play.

Another great player, another certain Hall of Famer. I would love to hate the guy like years past, but he's being pushed around like a child. This is embarrassing to such a force, he's either getting smoked by a hit, or coughing up the puck on any pressure.

I almost feel sorry for him.

Costing the Flyers millions of dollars to be turned inside out on a nightly basis. For the integrity of the league, and the Flyers organization - take a buyout.

Another Flyer that is taking a paycheck for no effort. The guy is spending time in the minors, has earned millions in his life - so take your money and go with your Sports Illustrated model wife. Enjoy a life we all dream of, don't delay it.
