Why officially retire?
Hey guys, here's a simple question that I can't really figure out...what is the technical benefit of a player officially retiring? Obviously in many cases a guy's Bird rights (if he's out of contract) will get renounced so he won't have the option of getting a deal like KVH just did, but I'm curious what benefit a player gets from handing in retirement papers. Looking at the CBA it doesn't seem like a player's pension is affected by not officially retiring in the short term. What obvious thing am I missing?
