I agree he WAS an NHL player when he was first buried. Now he's two years removed from his last NHL game, he's now 35 years old, and from what a few Ranger fans have told me he spent more time serving as a player-coach/mentor in the AHL last year than he did actually playing/practicing.
I highly doubt he could step into the NHL and play with success anymore, and no one is going to take the chance to pay him that much money on a guess.
