 Straight from the rumor mill. Is Teemu back? It's sketchy, but it gets your attention regardless. Let the speculation begin.  Top Blues prospect T.J. Oshie has been suspended by his team at the University of North Dakota following his arrest for disorderly conduct this past weekend. Oshie, a junior and the team's leading scorer, will [...]

 The 'Canes have placed John Grahame on waivers and have recalled Michael Leighton from Albany. Leighton has had an excellent AHL campaign. Leighton does not have to clear re-entry waivers because he is making less than $100K in the AHL. Andrew Ladd underwent facial surgery (that's all I know!) and is day-to-day. Scott Walker's knee injury will [...]

 He's not a Claude Julien player, so he's been traded. The Bruins sent Brandon Bochenski to the Anahiem Ducks for Shane Hnidy and a sixth rounder. This is decent news if you've been stuck with Bochenski on your team, as a fresh start is always nice. He'll either fit in, or he won't. If he [...]

 Dan Boyle is targeting a return before the end of January from his wrist injury. That's a couple of weeks ahead of schedule, by my count. The Denver Post is reporting that Ryan Smyth has suffered a serious ankle injury. He is a warrior, so he will be back earlier than you think, but unofficially it [...]
