I don't know what teams do or are expected to do with a player who's contract expires while the player is on LTIR, and not expected to return to the NHL level?
I mean he's a UFA, but does anyone expect him to play again? Why would any team sign him as an UFA if he is unable to play?
I assumed because of his age and decision to undergo what is almost certainly career ending procedure that he was electing to retire and the surgery was basically to improve his quality of life.

After Hags suffered the eye injury he had hip resurfacing done, same procedure Backy had.
Also, Hags was making $2.75M per. Just my opinion but I wouldn’t call that over paid. But it doesn’t clear much cap space with him gone.
Mickstix:
Maybe on a normal team? He was a 4th line wing/grinder? Dowd makes 1.3m Kubel 1.23m Snively and Protas .8m

Snively and Protas are bad comparisons IMO. The last two seasons combined, which is the extent of both players NHL experience, Snively has played a grand total of 24 games. Protas is better at 91 total games. Plus we all know this club has a poor record of playing the young guys if and when they get called up. I’m still not convinced that was entirely on Lavi but he did have a bad habit of keeping guys on the bench after two shifts. Snively is a bit on the small side for an NHLer at 5’9 and 180. Protas is better at 6’6 and 215.
