[Report] Deryk Engelland announces retirement

[-Vintage Canuck-]

 

[Rick Blight]

Good career and I suspect he will move into a Knight's management role before long.

I wonder for how many players on the retirement bubble, that Covid and this re-jigged season are the reason to pull the plug?

[Gurn]

A bit over $14 mill in career earnings.

A good, solid, no nights off, player.

"Roll call for Loui, roll call for Loui..." -- j/k we all know he's not leaving.

Props to Engelland for a solid career though, wonder if we'd still take him over Jordie Benn at this point.

Hated playing against him, but he was very effective.

Solid career, good for him

Over 60% of it was that crazy 3-year deal the Flames gave him in 2014. Nice depth guy to have, and obviously a good guy in the room...but still. 

 

That's essentially what Canucks did with Beagle though. Over half of his career earnings will be the 4-year deal we gave him.

Could you imagine the pure ecstasy on these forums if he did? It would be embarrassing for the team and fanbase how hard the celebrations for a player retiring would be.

 

I wouldn't be embarrassed however - the guy cashed in on our team and hasn't shown he's anything other than an aged, slow, only-defensive, perimeter player.
