[Confound]

Spacek and Roloson for sure IMO.

I think you're pretty much right on except for the goalies, I think Conklin and Johnson both end up in Europe or the AHL. And Jeff Finger seems a little young to pack it in...

Dwayne Roloson firmly believes he can play another year. He might have to head overseas or take a 2-way deal to do so, however. Who knows, he might be able to sit around, bide his time and get a job if someone's backup falters or a starter gets injured.

The only guys I've heard for sure retiring, so far, are
-Nicklas Lidstrom: Obviously.
-Jason Strudwick: Played last season in Europe.
-Sergei Fedorov: Became GM for a KHL team
-Ian Laperriere: Hasn't been able to play in quite some time due to injury.

I didn't bold some players I thought may retire because I think they will look for deals 1st and then most likely sign an AHL contract or sign overseas and end up retiring fully retiring in a year or 2

There're my guesses!

[DuckJet]

Teemu is back for sure, he's already training for next season. And he dropped a hint in his blog that he and Saku would be here next year to ease Sami Vatanen into the NHL.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Selanne still playing in 5 years.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Brent Johnson retire this year.

Not to nit-pick on the original list and a handful of posters since, but didn't Ruslan Salei die in the Yaroslavl plane crash?

RIP.

It's a bump or merge - the OOP is from 2011. The new list is on the previous page.

Ah yes, thanks. I hadn't noticed that until after posting.
