Remember bottom six failure Kyle Turris? Well, we received word out of TSN that he has retired as a player and joined the Coquitlam Express of the BCHL as an advisor to the GM and player development coach. This comes as no surprise to anyone as Turris has spent most of his last two seasons with Edmonton as a healthy scratch either with the Oilers or the Condors. He’s only played 50 NHL games over the last two seasons where he produced a combined nine – yes NINE – points in those two seasons. As depth increased on the Oilers he was pushed off the roster as tends to happen.

With the amount of superior NHL players still looking for work I can’t blame Turris for seeing the writing on the wall and retiring as a player. It would be hard to get his career going again at the age of 33.

Good luck to him in this next phase of his life.

dark. Next. Why is what Bill Daly said perfect news for the Edmonton Oilers?
