Ya. He's got a new baby at home and his wife isn't thrilled that he didn't retire last year.
Scotty and Selanne were in a tough spot last year. There is speculation that they had planned to come back all along, but had to hold off to circumvent the salary cap. Decisions and trades were made with hope they would come back. Then the season started off horribly wrong, we weren't doing well, their "official announcements" dragged out forever. If they didn't come back, they would have lost a huge fan base who perceived them as being selfish and screwing up the team. They did come back and we're still not playing up to our potential (on paper, we have an amazing team who
could take the Cup again, in reality, not so much). Burke said that he would not allow them to do what they did again. Stay or go, the decision has to be made before the season starts.
