Dave Andreychuk has informed the Pittsburgh Penguins that it is his intention to retire, although nothing has been made public.
"We'll miss Ron [Francis] and Dave Andreychuk, although the latter has not officially announced his retirement."
The leadership and experience of Andreychuk and Francis will be missed in the Penguin locker room, as the team focuses more on youth during the offseason.

Isn't Kenny Jonsson still able to play in the NsHL? I believe he's still playing in Sweden.

He is playing in Sweden, and there have been some rumors about him coming back over next year. He looked pretty at the Olympics, and I'm guessing he will have plenty of teams interested in his services should he decide to come back.

Ive heard rumors that Roman Checmanek is retiring. After being the NsHL goalie of the year he's realized that he was just dreaming the whole time and is returning to churn butter.
