Pitkanen (heel) indicated in an interview with a Finnish news outlet that he's not confident he'll return to action during the 2014-15 campaign, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
A broken heel suffered in April 2013 has kept Pitkanen off the ice for the last year and a half, putting the 30-year-old's career in jeopardy. The blueliner's three-year contract with the Hurricanes expired in the summer, and considering his bleak long-term health outlook, it's doubtful he signs with a team anytime soon.

Pitkanen, who has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, skated only 22 games last season due to yet another assortment of ailments (lower body, heel). And sadly, he revealed just days before camp opened that his broken heel had never healed. He's out for the entire 2013-14 season and has become the poster boy for the ouch brigade.
