NHL insider Frank Servalli reported that Brayden Holtby will miss the entire 82 game season of 2023-2024, and retirement is clearly a suitable option at the moment.

Holtby spent a whopping ten years with Washington until he was dealt/signed elsewhere, where then he was flipped to a new home in Dallas where he posted a impressive 2.78 goals against and a even more impressive .913 save percentage as a 32 year old.
