Rob Blake

Mike Peca

Will look at some sort of activity reward to put these players on the staff of their former teams. A few of these guys played a lot of years with the same team.

[TorontoGM]

I say the players who played their entire or atleast ~85% of it with the same team, that team should get first dibs.

They will.

I'm more talking about guys like Peca, Nolan, Walker, etc. Though, they probably aren't even worthy of being made staff.

Guys like Sundin, Modano, Lidstrom obviously have a place.

The retiring plugs can be average scouts.
