Ice Scoopz: Wednesday afternoon

*-> The Sergei Kostitsyn saga just took a turn for the worst. Don Meehan Kostitsyn,s agent has officially requested a trade out of Montreal for his client. Sergei feels he was treated unfairly after being demoted. Bob Gainey has answered by saying there's no market for him now and his only option is Hamilton. He has been officially suspended. Andrei Kostitsyn his older brother has yet to comment but rumors have placed him as being neutral to the situation but could decide to leave once he's an UFA to join his brother. I highly doubt Andrei would request a trade yet but not resigning is a definate option. I also feel Sergei was targeted throughout training camp by Martin and it was a stupid move if they intend on keeping both brothers for the future.

*-> Peter Forsberg has had yet another setback with his NHL comeback. He has a stress fracture in his ankle and is contemplating retirement once again. He is going to give it 2 weeks and see where he's at before making a decesion.

*-> Speaking of the old Swedish guards, Mats Sundin has called it a career. He has officially announced his retirement after deciding family is his priority.

*-> Blair Betts is expected to sign with Philadelphia this evening or tomorrow morning.
