Daniel Alfredsson Retires



A major retirement took place in the world of professional hockey as Daniel Alfredsson has officially retired from the game.

Alfredsson was not a highly regarded player from the nation of Sweden and was only drafted in the sixth round by the Ottawa Senators in 1994.  It was not long before General Managers across the National Hockey League realized that they had made a mistake in passing on the feisty Scandanavian as he would win the coveted Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie in 1996. 

The Swedish star would emerge as the top producer for the Ottawa Senators and after years of struggles would lead them to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2007 where he was the leading scorer in the Playoffs. 

Alfredsson would spend the bulk of his professional career with the Ottawa Senators and over his career would score 1,108 Points over his career with a 0.94 Points per Game Average.  In terms of his trophy case, Alfredsson would earn Second Team NHL Honors in 2006 and the King Clancy Award in 2012.

As we take a brief look at the career of the Swedish star, we openly ask is this the resume of a Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, and upon first look he isn’t that far off.

Regardless, we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Daniel Alfredsson for the memories and his wonderful career.
