Roenick Still Deciding Retirement or Not

From The Hockey News,
Contrary to an earlier report, Phoenix Coyotes center Jeremy Roenick has not decided to retire from the NHL.
According to a statement issued Monday to The Hockey News.com by his agent, Neil Abbott, Roenick “is considering all of his options, including retirement, (but) has made no final decision.”
Abbott added that a formal announcement regarding Roenick’s final decision will be made in the next few weeks.
The recent death of Roenick’s father-in-law played a factor in the famously personable NHL star’s reticence to confirm a Philadelphia Inquirer story that he was ending his 18-year playing career immediately.
*Frankly, we always thought it was a little strange that so many were reporting Roenick’s retirement like it was a ‘done deal’ based on nothing more than a text message.

I think he’s got enough gas in the tank for another season, that is another season where all he needs is five goals to reach 500 (likely)and 48 points to get 1300 points (unlikely). 500 goals is a pretty impressive resume to bring for Hall of Fame recommendation. He’ll play or he’s not the Jeremy Roenick I know…lol.

JR “the mouth” had 19 goals in 130 games over the past two seasons for the Kings and Yotes. He had over 40 goals the previous two seasons combined. He is injury prone, his game does not fit in this league any more and where his mouth used to be a novelty in the league, it is now simply another distraction for a team. He had his chance over the last two seasons to score his 500th. Styles should just find someone to give him a microphone so that he can save whatever dignity is left.
