His career is pretty much done in the NHL. Unless Pittsburgh will continue to let him fill in a roster spot to "serve" his suspension so that he may be useful in other games for the rest of the regular season, he's going back to the AHL and continue to play hockey as if nothing happened.
There's no way that the other NHL teams in the league will sign this guy, once his contract with Pittsburgh is finished.
He'll be playing with the other ex-NHL "has-beens" in Europe or Russia in the near future, if he decides to continue to play hockey.
Pittsburgh accomplished their mission by retaliating with this massive hit, because we took out two of their top 4 d-men in the previous game with them, and they wanted to protect Geno, but at the expense of Toby, who now has a concussion.
I hope the Penguins organization and their fans are happy. They should be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for that. Just because they accused us as being bullies, they have to retaliate?
Fine then. Since we're not getting any respect around the league, we might as well earn it in other ways.
