Brandon Sutter announced his retirement from hockey after being released from his tryout from Edmonton. Sutter, 34, had been out of pro hockey since 2021 dealing with medical issues, but attempted to return this fall. Sutter’s legacy in Pittsburgh might be best remembered as a part of two big trades: the first as a center-piece in the Jordan Staal deal in 2012 and then getting dealt away in 2015 for Nick Bonino that helped lead to two Stanley Cups for the Pens. Sutter ends his career with 770 NHL games and 289 points, including 209 games and 78 points with Pittsburgh.
