After completing his 10th pro season Tyler Kennedy(48) was unable to secure a contract for 2016/2017 and has decided that age 30 it’s time to hang up the skates instead of looking overseas for more ice time.
He signed a one-year deal a bit after a month into 2015/2016 with New Jersey Devils, where he was on an invite to training camp then agreed to a pto but had to leave and returned before inking officially.
In 50 games he had 3 goals and 13 assists but was a bit of a dismal -14 on a non-playoff team.
He did however push his NHL games played total past 500 to 527, which is a nice achievement after a long career that included a Stanley Cup.
