Reads as bad news but I just have a hard time believing anything bad after we saw all of the skating videos the past month

He's just there to represent the players. First of all, while he was probably not close to returning for these playoffs, he's on the timeline and hasn't suffered any setbacks. And even if he had, why would they announce it now lol?

Hopefully it's just CMac's season ending presser with his captain, to talk about the team, and give an update on his health, since he hasn't talked publicly to the media since last year I believe.

But why would the captain be there for a year ending presser?

That's what the last part of that sentence was referencing. I hope. "give an update on his health, since he hasn't talked publicly to the media since last year I believe."

Plus he's the team captain and his presence has been sorely missing publicly. He's a stabilizing presence for fans after a disappointing loss.

Since you guys have already forgotten, MacFarland and Landeskog also spoke last year after the Avs season was over:

He’s probably gonna announce he’s done playing and taking over the Avs GM position while CMac becomes Val’s sponsor, spends all his time with Val to make sure he doesn’t do drugs anymore and join the team in November

Landy spoke before the season started. Sometimes, you just need to hear from the Captain.

Maybe I'll eat my words, but I don't think it's bad. It's been planned for a while. Don't you think Sakic would be there if it was a "retirement"?
He and many other people would be there. Which is why I lean on the side that if it’s bad news (which I don’t believe it will be, I just won’t completely shut the door on it), it’s more in the vein of “rehab isn’t going the way we thought it would be…” and that basically the original timeline *may* no longer be relevant

If he was retiring, I'd imagine they'd combine the presser with announcing the new captain too.

Some bad news with some "good" news to show continuity and that they're moving forward. That seams like a team first Gabe move for sure.

Similar to the Hejduk presser where he gave the captain's jersey to Landy.

Would be shocked if you’re anything other than right with this one. Would have to think not only would Sakic be on hand if it was a ‘retirement’ but whichever of Makar/Mack was getting the C would be there as a passing the torch deal

CMac is going back to Columbus to GM. EJ is coming back to be Val's sponsor. EJ and Jokic can show Val the beauty of horse ownership and give him his first pony.
