 My weekly mailbag over at THN is now posted.  Scott Niedermayer is expected to announce that he will return tonight. The time to grab him is now. Once you have him, one strategy might be to trade him. It's been my experience that even when the great players miss training camp, they are beset by an [...]

 It looks as if the Pens found a taker for Recchi. They placed him on waivers. Upon re-entry, I figure a team will take him for the discount.  In keeping with my promise to let you know when I have something posted on another website, I wrote today's Daily Slate . I wrote yesterday's as well [...]

 Someone requested in the forum that I note when I have an article elsewhere, so I will try to remember to do that. I have an article up today on Tobias Enstrom over at The Hockey News . As always, I'll re-post the article here in a couple of days.  Brett Sterling is making the [...]

 Ales Hemsky will miss tonight's contest against Anaheim with a leg contusion. This opens up a lot of ice time for the likes of Robert Nilsson. Dick Tarnstrom (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve. Jason Labarara left yesterday's contest when he sustained a rib injury. No word on if he will be out for any length [...]

 Rankings will be postponed until tomorrow.  Derek Roy skipped practice yesterday after taking a shot off the foot. He will be in the lineup today.  I have always liked Dustin Byfuglien as a decent No.4 defenseman with upside on the second power play. I figured he had the ability to notch 45 points and 150 PIMs. He's [...]

 Ed Jovanovski made a questionable hit on Marian Gaborik Wednesday - that didn't make the headlines - but he was suspended for one game. He will miss tonight's contest. Pascal Leclaire (hammy) did some light skating yesterday but did not face any shots. He will not start any games this weekend. Joe Sakic (groin) will be in [...]
