Wow I was just looking last night and his status was UFA III, now I find out he announced his retirement 2 days ago. Being that he was on the hook for 2 more years and his rating would have plummeted further it was probably a good thing. It does leave a hole on an already offensively weak group of centers.
Slight clarification from Wellwood’s agent, as per Yahoo!’s Sean Leahy — Wellwood’s one-month deal with Zug has expired and he’s left Switzerland to explore potential NHL opportunities. If he cannot find any, he plans to retire.
