having only done one re-create with Strom, I originally set a limit for myself that I would retire as a goalie if my TPE ever went below 1000.  I was teetering the line and as a 1st gen player I had already gotten WJC Gold, IIHF Gold, 4-Star Cup...and the only thing that was missing was the Challenge cup to complete all of the major milestones for a player, minus the hall.  So while I could have easily stuck around a couple of seasons...getting that cup in Winnipeg sealed the deal.  Retire while out on top.  Easy peasy.
