How is Brian Leetch NOT playing in the NHL right now?

Ideally the Rangers should sign him for the rest of the year and let him retire properly, as a New York Ranger.

He had lost his luster quite a bit in his last few years with the rangers and since being traded from the rangers, he hasn't been spoken of very much. he was truly a great player but he has become old and some people age faster than others and have more wear and tear causing them to have to hang it up earlier than we would like them to.

Yes, he is old, and Chelios.. Chelios is actually a good defenseman.. not just for his age, as a defenseman in general. He's one of those guys you look up to. Leetch definetly is old, he may break his hip.

The Rangers should sign him since no other team has signed him yet. I would like to see him retire as a New York Ranger.

its the salary cap that hurting teams they have to be careful on who they pick. and yes he is asking for way to much as his career has been on the decline, but if some teams do some moves come trade deadline and if they have some CAP room then yes they will most likely pick him up but he will need to bring his offer down a little.

GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

a better question is how are wade belak and hal gill playing in the NHL ... and not leetch

Old and probably wants to much $$$

he retired from this year, he was on the rangers a while.. and lastly the maple leafs later on.. ive kinda wondered myself.. thats the best i can give you

he's 85 years old

he is just passed his prime so he doesnt get a contract
