Former Toronto Maple Leafs blue-liner Carl Gunnarsson is retiring after 12 NHL seasons.
The Toronto Maple Leafs drafted Gunnarsson in the seventh round, 194th overall, of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. (stats hockeydb.com).
And while Gunnarsson had a decent, if unspectacular, career, the thing that gets me here is that players drafted after the 2005 lockout are now retiring.
