Owen Nolan was released from the Canucks late Saturday night, but it wasn’t due to a lack of effort. “I thought he came in and gave it a real honest effort, but he had a bad groin, physically I’m not sure if he would have been able to endure the daily workload of the NHL at his age. But he came in here, worked real hard, showed us some good things, but we felt we wanted to go in another direction.”
Sounds like Nolan will either try his luck with another team or retire.
