from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
When Mark Parrish signed on with the Dallas Stars last month, the Limbo Club lost a member.
Limbo as in veteran players who remain without an NHL job, the likes of Yanic Perreault, Bryan Smolinski, Jocelyn Thibault, Glen Murray, Kevyn Adams, Martin Lapointe and Dan Cloutier—brand names that got lost in the shuffle this past offseason.
They are the victims of a postlockout NHL that is growing younger and younger, victims of a salary-cap system in which teams have difficulty finding money for these types of veterans. It’s like musical chairs—when the music stops, not everyone will find a seat.

Great article. Definitely makes one think about how the glory days can end abruptly without warning, not even a chance to say good-bye. And what decisions players are forced to make while balancing family and financial obligations. Very bittersweet. I thought Bret Hedican might be a new member to this club, but he was fortunate enough to be picked up by the Ducks.
