Bondra to Retire?

tsn.ca is reporting that Thrashers GM Don Waddell says he expects Bondra to retire. The Atlanta Thrashers, who shaved over $1 million in salary on Friday by trading Patrik Stefan and Jaroslav Modry to Dallas, are expecting to lose another veteran very soon.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Peter Bondra will not be offered a contract as he debates retirement. The Thrashers will also not tender offers to Ronald Petrovicky, J.P. Vigier and Serge Aubin.

While Bondra has not made his decision, Waddell is not expecting the 38-year-old to attempt a comeback.
