FROM TSN
Former New York Rangers forward Chris Drury announced his retirement from the NHL on Friday after 12 seasons.
The Rangers bought out the final year of their captain's contract in June after four seasons with the Rangers.
Drury played in only 24 games last season because he broke his finger twice and also underwent knee surgery. He didn't score a goal until the final day of the season.
Drury was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in 1994 and began his NHL career after the franchise was relocated to Colorado. He won the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie in 1998-99 and won the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in the 2000-01.
Drury had 255 goals and 615 points in 892 career games with the Colorado Avalance, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres and Rangers.

He had some crappy seasons the last few years but I guess as no one offered him a contract it was time to hang up the skates
