Jarret Stoll: Released from professional tryout

Stoll was let go from his professional tryout agreement with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail reports.

Stoll saw a significant drop in production last season -- just nine points in 80 contests -- which no doubt factored into the center being unable to secure anything more than a PTO over the summer. The young talent down the middle in Columbus had the veteran in an uphill battle a roster spot. Stoll hasn't played in the minors since 2004-05 with the Edmonton Roadrunners, but may have to pursue that route if he wants to continue his professional career. Needless to say, fantasy owners will want to look elsewhere.
