PLAYER NEWS

Oilers Andy Sutton (EDM - Defense) News: Sutton has retired from the NHL, according to the Edmonton Journal. [+] Impact: Sutton has battled a multitude of injuries over the past couple of seasons which certainly played a big part in his decision to retire. He leaves the NHL having played in 676 games, 38 goals, 112 assists, and 1,185 PIMs. (RotoWire - Wed. May 22, 2013) Ales Hemsky (EDM - Right Wing) News: Hemsky is not expected to be back in Edmonton next season, according to the Edmonton Journal. [+] Impact: Hemsky is due to make $5 million next season and with his history on injuries and games missed it is unlikely the Oilers would want to pay him that amount.
