Jarkko Ruutu to Anaheim for a sixth. Fantasy significance: zero. If any trades occur today, analysis will be posted later on tonight. My guess on Kaberle return: Blake Wheeler, one of Zach Hamill/Joe Colborne, and a prospect. Jaroslav Halak has been placed on the IR with a hand injury. The Blues [...]
Let's take a closer look at the hottest player in the league over the past calendar month. He had 15 goals and 21 points in that span, more points than the next best Olli Jokinen (17 points) and a whopping six more goals than the next best - a three way tie between Drew Stafford, Ryan Kesler and Curtis Glencross.
A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher.

Only nine games on the schedule this Saturday as a warm up to Hockey Day in the US and the Heritage Classic out at McMahon Stadium on Sunday. Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend.
