Bolts' Ohlund (Knee) Admits Career May Be Done: Mattias Ohlund (knee) has finally admitted his playing career might be over, reports the Tampa Bay Times. "I'm not close to working out or even skating," Ohlund said. "Clearly I have to be realistic. I haven't played for a year and a half. Nobody has told me it's impossible to ever play again but, clearly, the longer it goes the chances of that are getting tougher and tougher." Almost a year ago, Ohlund underwent a partial knee replacement. (Updated 1/14/13)

Fantasy Analysis

He is on the salary books through 2015-16 and is ineligible for a buyout because he's on IR. What a sad turn for a proud player. (Updated 1/14/13).
