Despite playing what appeared to be some solid games for Vancouver in preseason action, Landon Ferraro won't be making the Canucks' roster this year. The team has released the 28-year-old from his professional tryout. Having played just two games in the NHL over the last two seasons, one has to think his chances of landing an NHL contract at this point are pretty slim.
Ferraro is the son of longtime NHL veteran and current TSN and NBCSN Analyst Ray Ferraro. Despite being drafted fairly high in 2009, 32nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings, Ferraro has had a tough time landing a steady role in the big leagues, playing just 77 games in the NHL over the last decade. Over those games, he managed seven goals and 12 points.
No word on what the next move might be for the centre. He could sign with an AHL team, head overseas to play, or retire from hockey completely.
