"Chris Chelios won't be with the Detroit Red Wings next season. Wings general manager Ken Holland told the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press he met with the 47-year-old and Chelios wouldn't be offered another contract. The Associated Press left a message for Holland Monday evening seeking comment. Holland tells the News it was "kind of understood last summer" when Chelios signed a one-year deal that it would be his last. Holland says Chelios wants to play another season and believes the veteran player can still play (Sportsline)."
Chelios needs to give it up. He played in only 28 games last season, and didn't even record a single point. It is one thing if you are still a meaningful contributor to your team, but Chelios is all done. The Red Wings treated him well, and I think he should retire. He is a first ballot Hall Of Famer, but there is little reason for him to keep playing at the age of 47.
