The Dallas Stars announced today that former Bruin Rich Peverley has decided to retire from his playing career and take a role in player development with the Stars.
It's been a weird, sad couple of years for Peverley - after collapsing on the bench during a heart attack in a game against Columbus, Peverley tried to make a comeback, skating with the Stars' AHL affiliate but ultimately never seeing game time and instead acting as a volunteer assistant coach. As recently as July of this year, it was reported that Peverley was considering his options as a free agent.
