The NHL sees another player from the 1993 Draft retire, as Jason Arnott announced his retirement today. With 417 goals and 521 assists in an 18 year career, Arnott came to define the power forward role that saw him play with Edmonton, Dallas, New Jersey (twice), Nashville, Washington, and St. Louis. While he never cracked the 80-point barrier, he brought leadership, which was most evident in his stint in Nashville, as he was captain for a couple of seasons there, and he also notched three 30-goal seasons, with one of them coming in his rookie year, where he finished as the runner-up to Martin Brodeur for the Calder Trophy. He also holds the Predators' single season record in goals (33 in 2008-09, which was also the number he scored his rookie year) and was a member of the 2000 Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils.
