Chris Drury Retires

On Friday morning, it was announced that former Rangers captain Chris Drury has announced his retirement after a 12-year career in the NHL.  Drury spent time between Colorado, Calgary, Buffalo and in New York, before having his contract bought out by the Rangers in June.

In 892 career games, Drury has 615 points (255 goals and 360 assists) and was a solid fantasy player for a number of seasons, but his numbers quickly dwindled, combined with some recurring injuries, it was getting to be a good time to think about retirement.  In 2009, he finished 75th among all forwards in scoring, dropping all the way down to 412th in 2011.

Drury has one Stanley Cup championship to his name, winning with the Avalanche in 2001, along with some pretty good playoff scoring numbers, 89 points (47 goals and 42 assists) in 135 career games.
