It appears Stephane Robidas' playing days are over.
The Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman won't be suiting up this season after failing his physical, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.
Robidas didn't play a single game in 2015-16. He was reportedly suffering from knee and groin injuries that kept him from starting last season with the club, but not much was heard about him after early October.
The 39-year-old will be utilized by Toronto, though:
(2/2): Lou felt he is a great pro/teacher to have around young players so he'll be around team, but with no official title in front office.

Robidas is under contract at a salary cap hit of $3 million in 2016-17.
He'll primarily work with the Toronto Marlies and do some NCAA consulting work, while based in Montreal, according to the Toronto Sun's Lance Hornby.
