The new-look Los Angeles Kings will not include defenceman Stephane Quintal, as the 16-year NHL veteran has announced his retirement from hockey.
Acquired from Montreal in 2004, Quintal collected three goals and five assists in 73 games with the Canadiens in the 2003-2004 campaign.
He appeared in four playoff contests before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.
Quintal said in a statement that he wished to spend more time with his family and lived out his childhood dream playing for the Canadiens.
A native of Boucherville, Quebec, the 36-year-old Quintal was selected 14th overall by Boston in 1987.
