Centre Peter Holland, who was last under contract in the NHL with Chicago in 2018/19, has retired from pro hockey. Drafted in the first round, 15th overall, in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Anaheim Ducks, Holland has 85 points (36G, 49A) in 266 games for the Anaheim Ducks (2011/12-partway through 2013/14), Toronto Maple Leafs (partway through 2013/14-partway through 2016/17), Arizona Coyotes (part of 2016/17), and New York Rangers (2017/18). In his career, Holland had career highs of 27 points and 18 assists in 2015/16, as well as 11 goals in 2014/15. Unfortunately for Holland he left Anaheim for Toronto just as they made their mid-2010s ascent, and left the Leafs before the Auston Matthews era got started in earnest, resulting in him never playing in the postseason. Holland finished his final NHL season with four points (1G, 3A) in 23 games for the Rangers as well as 33 points in 36 AHL games between the Laval Rocket and Hartford Wolf Pack. He finished his final pro season with six points in 15 games for Djurgardens IF in Sweden’s SHL. The link is to a Twitter thread on Holland’s twitter account elaborating on his decision.
