Drury retires from the NHL after 12 seasons

By Anthony Caruso III

Chris Drury has decided to walk away from the NHL.

The 35-year-old center was bought out by the New York Rangers this off-season. The move will cost the Rangers $3.716 million against the 2011-12 salary cap and $1.667 million against the 2012-13 salary cap.

Once being bought out, Drury became a free agent. But after having an injury-plagued 2010-11 season, no teams were showing Drury any interest.

Drury appeared in 892 regular season games with Colorado, Calgary, Buffalo, and the Rangers. He had 225 goals and 615 points.

In the playoffs, he had 47 goals, including 17 game-winners, and 89 points in a 135 games. He also won the Stanley Cup with the 2001 Colorado Avalanche.
