After an illustrious career that spanned across the globe, Daniel Winnik, a former Toronto Maple Leaf and hometown favorite, has officially retired.
In the last six years of his career, Winnik played in Switzerland, but he will be most remembered for his time in the NHL. He played 789 games, scoring 82 goals and totaling 251 points during that span. While not considered among the all-time greats, Winnik had a highly respectable professional career. His career highlight was representing Canada in the 2022 Olympic Games when the NHL chose not to participate.
The future for Winnik is uncertain, but given his extensive hockey knowledge and experience, the game would undoubtedly benefit if he continued to be involved post-retirement.
