2010 marks the first year we have encountered a player that has been kept, who has announced his retirement during the summer (Neidermayer). My question to all of you is: what do we do? Does the team who chose to keep the player just bite the bullet or do we offer the same sort of compensation as we do for players who bolt to the KHL? Something similar? Other options? Let me know so we can handle this and future instances before they get out of hand.

I say bite the bullet. Makes keepers more interesting.

Absolutely no compensation for retired players, it's something you need to keep in the back of your mind when selecting your keepers. If compensation were awarded managers could strategically keep retired players to improve their team for next season, ala me with Selanne. Furthermore, isn't there a rule in place where if a player is a certain age and bolts to the KHL that the manager doesn't get rewarded with a pick? Isn't age 35 the cutoff?

Consensus has been reached. No compensation for retired players.

So exciting.
You better make that pick or trade it! I'm excited to see if we can use up all the draft picks this year.
