Gilbert Brule has successfully cleared waivers. Brule's contract can now be terminated by the Phoenix Coyotes. That will certainly happen as he's already made it known that he wants to retire from hockey. He had 43 goals, 95 points, and 156 penalty minutes in 299 NHL games, but he has struggled to maintain a roster spot recently and refused an assignment to AHL Portland.

Gilbert Brule has announced his retirement. The forward was sent to the minors on Monday and refused to report so the Coyotes suspended him. Brule, the sixth overall pick in the 2005 Draft, then went one step further and retired. He was an unrestricted free agent in the off-season and considered the AHL before the Coyotes inked him to a deal. He is looking at becoming a firefighter.

Gilbert Brule chose not to report to AHL Portland, so he's been suspended by the Coyotes. He suited up in three games, where he had no points and three shots, for Phoenix prior to his demotion.

Gilbert Brule was sent to the minors on Sunday. In three games with the Coyotes, Brule averaged 11:33 of ice time and he didn't record a point.

Phoenix Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said Gilbert Brule was "flying" in his NHL season debut on Thursday. Brule had two shots on goal and two penalty minutes in Phoenix's 2-1 shootout loss to Toronto. He logged 12:39 minutes in his first NHL game since 2011-12.

Gilbert Brule will suit up for Phoenix in Thursday's match against Toronto. It marks his first NHL game since May 15, 2012. Brule has notched seven goals and 12 points in 11 games this year with AHL Portland.

The Phoenix Coyotes have summoned Gilbert Brule. Brule has seven goals and 12 points in 11 AHL contests in 2013-14. He was selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and recorded 37 points in 65 games with the Edmonton Oilers in 2009-10. However, he's struggled to firmly establish himself in the NHL and he hasn't even played in the league since 2011-12.

Gilbert Brule has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Phoenix Coyotes. The club announced the deal on Saturday after it was reported earlier this week that Brule would be heading to the KHL. Brule has six goals and two assists in eight games with AHL Portland this year and he hasn't played in the NHL since 2011-12. He has to clear waivers before he can report back to the AHL.

Gilbert has been released from his professional tryout with the Phoenix Coyotes. He appeared in 33 games with the Coyotes in 2011-12 and he played briefly in Switzerland last year. Brule may have to settle for an AHL contract or try to find another deal overseas if he wants to continue playing.
