News: Nichol announced his retirement Wednesday after 12 seasons in the NHL, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. [+]
Impact: The 38-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent and coming off a one-point campaign over 30 games, he decided he was better suited for front office work than on-ice duty. A stable locker room presence for 662 NHL games, Nichol will now serve as the director of player development for the Nashville Predators. ( RotoWire - Wed. June 5, 2013) |

News: Booth (ankle) was cleared to ditch his walking boot within the past two weeks, the Vancouver Province reports. [+]
Impact: The original timetable left the possibility for Booth to return during the playoffs should the Canucks advance far enough, but it doesn't look like he would have been anywhere near ready if Vancouver was still competing. If Booth isn't cleared prior to July 2, he wouldn't be eligible for a buyout this summer, which has been speculated since the offseason began for the Canucks. ( RotoWire - Thu. June 6, 2013) |
