Big update on the future of NHL enforcer Chris Neil.

There were rumors of a potential retirement for veteran National Hockey League enforcer Chris Neil, but that no longer sounds like the case at all.

While there is still nothing official as of yet, TSN insider Darren Dreger is now reporting that Neil has both good options as well as offers that will allow him to play in the NHL next year despite being effectively cut by the Ottawa Senators.

It's unclear at this time which teams have reached out to Neil, but it will be interesting to see how the fan base of the team that acquires him will react to one of the most notorious enforcers in the league joining their ranks. 

Neil has been one of the most reviled players in the league during his career, although he's the type of player that you love to have on your team, and hate to play against.
