"I want to start off thanking all the fans and the organization for giving me a great opportunity to play for such an historical and proud team. It's been my absolute pleasure. Just to name a few people I want to thank Eric Tillman, Paul Jones, Ed Hervey and Brock Sunderland for the amazing opportunity. A big thank you to my guy Dwayne Mandrusiak... Edmonton will always be my home but time for the next chapter of my journey. Thank you for everything EE."

Sewell is scheduled to hit free agency February 9.
