Buried and lost among all the articles on Crosbys Return and Brodeurs retirement was the announcement from Radek Dvorak that he to would be retiring. The well traveled forward played for 7 teams in his 18 season career, but I will always remember him best for his years in Florida and New York. He never really grew into the superstar that his early numbers would have had us believe was coming, but he was still a very solid roleplayer on the ice.
