Ace - Mike Izzy will announce his retirement

Just no chance for a few reasons, Izzy's still a top player in the league with potential to chase records or at least finish top 10 for some major stats. In addition to this, Izzy is big on theatrics and bolstering the SHL experience with stories and world-building. If this was Izzy's last season, we would all know, he would make it incredibly clear with an "Izzy to play in his final career year post".

I'm going to double down on this and also add that Izzy retiring would leave a pretty large gap in the Flames roster that would be difficult to fill, since he is still a top tier first liner. I don't see him leaving his squad out to dry like that.
