Will Eddie Belfour Retire after this Season???

I would imagine he would.  I expect the Leafs to buy out his contract and make JS Aubin or Telqvist they're goaltender.  Then they'll just cross their fingers.  (I would also think they'd chase a top notch goaltender in the offseason.  Luongo anyone?)\n\nBut since they just extended Aubin's deal, it looks like Eddie could be done in Toronto.  I suppose it may also depend on how he recovers from his surgery.

It is not a question if, it is a question of when. He'll certainly be fired after his team's performance, only scoring one goal in three matches. I think a more player oriented coach would be a good choice. Eric Wynalda who ESPN hired on as an analyst for the World Cup would be a great choice in my opinion.

Hopefully none. Realistically, however, he may win 5 or 6. We can count on Roger to keep up the drama (He is the drama king of baseball) and mystery as to whether or not he will "retire" after this season. Stay tuned. Roger will have more and more and more to say about this in the future. He will mumble and stumble, and we will be left to figure out just what it was that he said.\n\nHope you agree.

It makes me very happy as a Leaf fan, although in a way I wish he would have waited until later in the season to have this goal scoring thing. Preferably after he re-signs with the Leafs. Now that he is doing good he is going to want more money and this will lead to one of two things, him not signing with the Leafs, or the Leafs spending too much on him. I just hope he can keep this up though.

No, I have not heard anything on Lee retiring.  \n\nI could not imagine him calling it quits after having a career year last season.

I read on CNN that Michael Owen has said he does not expect to play again in 2006 :(

I haven't read that but it has to be the ultimate grasping at straws. Quite frankly not even Walter could do much with this team and he is better off where he is. He has achieved all he probably wants to at Rangers so why go back when he has near cult status as Manager of Scotland. Although is has never been mentioned I have a funny feeling that if anyone is waiting in the wings it may be Graham Souness. Out of a job and still big mates with Murray so dont discount it if the Mint fires Le Guen.

I hope he stays. Sounds bad to say but i can not imagine Arsenal without him. His arguable one of the best players whose won the Arsenal jersey. As an Arsenal fan I will be disappointed if he leaves. However for his personal growth as a player that might be a good move for him.....Mmmmm as long as he does not go to a team like Real Madrid. They seem to specialise in killing good players' game.....e.g Steve Macnanaman....sorry 4 spelling

I will say yes, he already is a Hall of Fame player. That said, he should also retire, though it would be tough to do because of injury. He has had a great career, and it would be foolish for him to risk his long-term health further.

In my opinion, he will not end up signing with a team and retire for good.  I think last year was the first time ever he began to look "old" on the mound.  His age has finally caught up to him, and I think he realizes that, and that is why he will retire.

Yes, for USA in the World Baseball Classic.  After that -- he hasn't decided, but my prediction is he will retire.  His manager recently said he is leaning that way. \n\n(He has many options, including returning to the Astros, but he'd have to wait until May 1 to do that.  My guess is that is the second most likely.)

I would say that its a safe bet he will return next season.  He hasn't been the healthiest of NHLers this season, but he definitely worked his booty off and proved he can still play.  He may not be as bright a star as once he was (who is...) but his play down the stretch in the regular season coupled with his effort (one of the few given by the Red Wings) in the first round series against the Oilers proves that he may have enough juice in the tank for one more go at it. \n\nHe didn't often play back to back games, and needed a breather in the middle of the first round series, but he still feels very much that this is HIS team (as well he should feel like that) and he doesn't like to go out in a way that they did.\n\nThat being said, if he chooses to hang em up, he'll go down as one of the greatest players of this generation and the Red Wings would be foolish NOT to retire the "C" along with his number 19.  The longest serving captain of any major sport (20 years as the face of the organization) and a career that spans three decades with the same team in an era of free agency and deserting teams for more cash makes Steve Yzerman a special player and leader.  \n\nI would keep a place on my team for him until a year after he dies, if he wanted it.

50/50 chance right now.  He probably feels like he can still compete and as a competitor, he doesn't want to go out with such an aweful season.  However, with all the off field tragedies and firing of Mike Sherman, he very well may call it quits.

He'll be ready to go next season and it will not affect him.  If he does let it affect him he should just retire. lets go sabres.

I reckon he will and then get injured and be out of it (football in general)for ages!\n\njust my guess though

No he didn't retire yet. But I think he should move on to another team and finish his career out. I don't think that the Packers really want him to stay but are giving him the option because of who he is.
