Edmonton said it released Sutter from the PTO in a release on Sunday. The six-foot-three, 188-pound Sutter had one assist in two pre-season games with the Oilers. The New York native was drafted 11th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2007, spending four seasons there before moving to the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Vancouver Canucks.
Sutter did not play for the Canucks in the 2021-22 season due to dealing with symptoms of long COVID and he was not re-signed by the team for the 2022-23 season.“I’m grateful for the opportunity that Ken , Jay , and the Oilers organization have provided to me the past few weeks," he said in his statement."You need to be 100 per cent healthy to compete in the NHL and although my health continues to improve, in consideration of my health and family, I am officially retiring from hockey.
"Thank you to the Oilers, Canucks, Penguins and Hurricanes, as well as all my past coaches, trainers and teammates for the incredible experiences throughout my 13 seasons in the NHL.”
