Patrick Dwyer: Playing career officially over
Dwyer has been hired as an assistant coach for AHL Charlotte.
Dwyer spent the entirety of his seven-year NHL career with Carolina, so it makes sense for him to return to the organization as a coach now that he's officially hung up his skates after playing overseas for two seasons. The 2002 fourth-round pick will retire having totaled 42 goals and 93 points in 416 career NHL appearances.

Patrick Dwyer: Released from tryout
Dwyer has been cut by the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Dwyer could be facing a choice between retirement and a return to the Swedish League after failing to secure a permanent spot on the depth chart with Columbus. The 33-year-old has 42 goals and 51 assists in 416 career NHL games, all with the Carolina Hurricanes. Even if he can find a new team, the veteran is unlikely to offer much in terms of fantasy value given he would likely be a fourth line player or healthy scratch most nights.
