Announces retirement from NHL
On Monday, Gorges took to Twitter and Instagram to officially announce his retirement from hockey.
ANALYSIS
Gorges, 34, will hang up the skates after suiting up in 783 NHL games. His last NHL action came a season ago, as a member of the Sabres, with the stay-at-home defenseman recording a pair of assists in 34 games. Not known for his offensive contributions on the ice, the feisty blueliner posted 124 points while playing for three different teams over a 13-year career. He does not have plans to play overseas and calls Monday's decision " his retirement from the game of hockey."

The 33-year-old Gorges was not re-signed by the Sabres after four unproductive seasons with the team, including the most recent campaign in which he played in just 34 games and registered two points due to injuries. The veteran defender has a lot of mileage, his hard-nosed style of play finally catching up to his body. Having never been blessed with good skating ability or skill with the puck, players like Gorges have become obsolete in today's NHL, and even if they do find NHL jobs are nothing more than depth players.
