And a big special harvest moon as well , ooooooooo scary stuff kids .
I heard nothing.Am I the only one who didn’t hear anything last year about him wanting to retire? When people are saying that there are rumours about him wanting to retire, are we just talking about someone on HF Boards who randomly posted an unsubstantiated post about him wanting to retire? Or are we taking about an actual source or article saying it? Just not sure why him taking a personal leave of absence somehow got like half of the posters in this thread to talk about him suddenly thinking of retiring...
It's possible i'll shed a tear if Buff isn't playing hockey for the Jets anymore .It's possible Buff's heart wasn't in it so TNSE told him to take some time off to think about things. It's possible TNSE is waiting on Buff's decision on whether he wants to keep playing.

Maurice categorized it as "nothing sinister" and "He needs some time to work through some things. He's going to be fine, everything's fine."
Chevy said there's not issues with his family, everybody is fine. Paraphrasing that.
That's the official words on it. Maybe he is going to retire.
I'd tell you to bite your tongue but your not talking so bite your fingers , HARD .Why? Because we love to speculate.
I don't recall if this came from media musings or just idle chatter on the boards, but there has been speculation for some time that this contract might be Buff's last and he would retire at the end of it. If that was his plan (note that I'm saying if), and he saw the team heading on a bit of a rebuild over the next season or two, I can see where he might think it's just not worth the toll each season takes on his body with only a slim chance at getting another Cup.
And just going by what little has been said by the team (Buff's fine, his family is fine but there is no timeline for his return), that would be in keeping with him taking some time off to consider his future. Or it could be something else entirely. We don't know, so we speculate. And as long as it's understood that's all we're doing, no harm, no foul in that.
Where are you getting this from though?
Just because one scenario is “possible” (because anything is possible in theory) doesn’t really mean that it warrants talking about it so much to the point that it spirals into a rumour that people start believing...
If you think 39 is old just wait until your 49 .And it happens to be my 39th bday. I’m old as balls.

Why do you think he’s maybe going to retire?
I read that as him sick of not being able to be in games.Just speculation that since it's not a family related matter and the timing of it. It's that time of year. Getting back to the rink. Maybe he's just not feeling it anymore. I remember reading some reporter last year (not an hfboards poster) that Byfuglien was kind of sick of dealing with injuries. I'll try finding it.

Our defense WITH buff is kinda scaryWell, we sure weren't able to savour the good feelings/optimism after the Morrisey signing for very long.
Our defence without Buff is kind of scary. Hope it's nothing too bad. Whatever ultimately happens, I wish Buff well. He's become one of my favourite Jets as I've followed the team.
