Hip replacements seem to have better overall results than knees from those I know who have had one or the other or in one case both.

awesome to hear Seabs is enjoying retirement. the Athletic article was a good read. one quote, regarding hearing less and less from Sharpie after he retired:
“"So I gave him s— one day. I’m like, ‘Why aren’t we talking?’” Seabrook recalled. “He’s like, ‘It’s hard to talk to you guys. You’re busy. You’re on the road. You’re in this city or that city. I think of calling you, but it’s a game day, and I don’t want to bug you. I check the schedule and I’m like, ‘OK, I’ll call tomorrow.’ But then I forget and it’s too late.’”
Seabrook understands that now. He wants to talk to Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane more often. He wants to see how things are going under Luke Richardson. He wants — like everyone wants — to know which way they’re leaning when it comes to their no-movement clauses as the trade deadline approaches. But he mostly stays away. He went to Tuesday’s Blackhawks-Canucks game at Rogers Arena and was planning to catch up with the guys after the game, but the team was headed right to the airport and off to Calgary, so there wasn’t much time. He said he’s found that texts are more likely to be returned than calls.""
didn't know he was at the game the other night, but great to hear. he seems like he will be a member of the coaching ranks as soon as he is officially retired. I don't think he is allowed to until then.

And Pronger wasn't officially retired when hired to work in the NHL office. Found this on Google:Player-coaches in the early NHL were somewhat common because coaching was not as complex as it is today and because teams had tighter budgets than they do now. Perhaps the most prolific player-coach of the early days was Hall of Famer Cy Denneny. |

Just from what I’ve read and gathered over the years is this. In Prongers situation. He was not paid by a team. So there’s no conflict of him circumventing the salary cap. If a player is under contract and works directly with a team. The player would be paid by the team and would have to fall under the SPC and be subject to the salary cap ramifications.
So in Seabrooks case, as mentioned. He cannot accept salary for coaching right now as he’s under a SPC with the NHL and an NHL team. He would have to agree to terminate his contract to pursue a salary in coaching.
As for the NHL. I’m sure he could help out coaching if on LTIR. But it could only be for the team he’s currently employed by. So it may not be a bad thing for o trade for his rights back. The Hawks wouldn’t even have to activate him on the LTIR. They could use his cap space to reach the floor. And let him coach. Seabs could be on the IR with a LBI. And on the bench with that seasoned grimace!!!

It would be great to have him in the Hawks org if and when he would like to.

Back when the Hawks were winning Cups I mentioned how Seabs should be a coach for them one day, I was thinking assistant with Toews or Hoss as the HC. But I can see Richardson being the HC for a while, especially when he gets his gold medalist from Canada, Bedard/Fantilli, Korchinski, Del Mastro, Allan, and C.Dach. |

Cool! Sounds like that's what he's working toward from the article. Thanks for posting it. |
