The New York Rangers are looking to add a top six forward at the NHL trade deadline. However, they don't want to sell the farm to acquire a player. Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun has posted this latest rumor involving the New York Rangers and Teemu Selanne.

Getting a concussion is just the thing to do in Philadelphia for hockey players.

After losing Chris Pronger for the season, plus leading scorer Claude Giroux for a number of games, the team lost rookies Brayden Schenn and Sean Couturier to head injuries. Recently, James van Riemsdyk was diagnosed with a concussion.

The New York Islanders and Anaheim Ducks are two teams near the bottom of the standings that have significantly picked up their play of late. While they may be playing like playoff teams at the moment, will they be able to make up for their first-half gaffes? 

The NHL changed a lot after the 2004-05 lockout. In addition to lower tolerance regarding penalties and the removal of the two-line pass rule, we also saw the introduction of the shootout at the end of overtime.

According to SportingNews, Sidney Crosby has visited a spine specialist after missing more than a month of play due to concussion-like symptoms.

Crosby visited with Dr. Robert S. Bray, a neurological spine specialist who has worked with the U.S. Olympic Team in the past.

There has been a lot of criticism towards Patrick Kane as of late. Most of it is coming as Kane is currently in one of the worst slumps of his NHL career.

Fans have speculated that Kane could be traded for a player with more "grit" and more "determination." But the simple truth is Kane is an elite player in his own way, and many teams would love to have the abilities that he brings to the table.

The Chicago Blackhawks have a dilemma with All-Star winger Patrick Kane.

What will it take to get Kane back into the All-Star form that led the Blackhawks to a Stanley Cup Championship?

As of late, Kane seems to be struggling to find the back of the net. He has played six games in January, racking up a total of three points and a minus-three rating. In the past four games Kane has mustered only one assist in 82 minutes of quality ice time.  

Dan Boyle broke his foot against Minnesota on November 10, but only the San Jose Sharks and Boyle's family knew that fact. In the month that followed, he had no goals, one assist and a minus-six rating in 12 games.

During that time, there were numerous calls for him to be traded, including from many of my colleagues here. He is washed up, he has lost a step, he is not good in his own end...

The New York Islanders have struggled on and off the ice for the past several years.

Some of the major things that have hurt the Isles recently are Rick DiPietro's long term contract, Mike Milbury's moves as General Manager and the failure of the Lighthouse Project.

But things have been looking up lately for the Islanders.

Last year, Daniel Sedin won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading scorer for the 2010-2011 season.

In the 2009-2010 season, his elder (by six minutes) twin brother Henrik won the Art Ross.

The back-to-back Art Ross trophies by teammates marked the first time this has happened in almost 20 years.

Well, there go any rumors about JvR. Either that, or Paul Holmgren is beginning to get crafty with smokescreens. 

The Philadelphia Flyers issued a statement today regarding forward James van Riemsdyk.

"James was hit in the head in each of our last two games. He reported yesterday, not feeling like himself. He will be out indefinitely with a concussion," Holmgren said in his statement.
