Sather: I won't retire this year

Glen Sather told The New York Post on Friday that despite reports to the contrary, retirement is not in his immediate plans.

“Everybody retires sometime, but I’m not intending to step away or retire from anything this year,” Sather said. “I don’t know how stories like this keep coming up, because I haven’t said anything to anybody about retiring. … One day, yes. But not now.”

Also: “There comes a time where you do think about your lifestyle and maybe some of the things you might do if you weren’t doing this job. But that’s not where my thoughts are now. I’m working to build this team into a Stanley Cup winner. That’s my priority. That’s what I’m focused on. … I’m not thinking about stepping back, or a change in my title or in my responsibilities.”
