So, is he done? Super long LTIR till retirement, trade his salary to PHX (you know they're going to be rather confused after Chayka left, for at least a while).
Can he come back?
I don't think we'll see a Tank/Vova like we saw last year ever again. I'm also feeling rather pessimistic about it.

Lots of signs that they’ve peaked.... but this time they didn’t miss their window!

Anything is possible, but I have grave concerns.

He's no Brad Marchand that's for sure.

I can appreciate his passion for wanting to come back and play in the playoffs this year but it seems to have been a completely reckless decision on his part to push it and the teams part to not look out for his best interest. Especially when you consider, as the article says, he was "very limited" when he did return. Truly baffling decision.

The more we're learning the more of a head scratcher it is becoming.

My daughter was devastated when I told her he's probably done, which I think he is. LTIR frees up a lotta jing.
