Malakohv insists he was never asked to attend camp despite Devils GM Lou Lamoriello saying he hoped the Russian defender would attend."That's news to me," Malakhov told Igor Larin of Sport Express. "In any case, I have not received anything, and nobody from the team has called me in a long, long time. Everyone is looking for me on the ice in New Jersey, but in reality I am playing tennis in Miami at the present moment. The theory of my disappearance was conjured up by American journalists or by someone from the Devils."Daze ponders retirementSeptember 27, 2006Neither Eric Daze nor the Blackhawks have made a decision about the future of the former star winger, but a return to the NHL appears to be more unlikely with each passing day.Daze showed up at Hawks training camp Tuesday to meet with senior vice president Bob Pulford, then left before the full-squad workout.Daze has had three surgeries in a five-year span to correct herniated discs and didn't play last season after suffering pain in the first game. He appeared to be on the road to recovery during the summer but felt pain during an on-ice workout two weeks ago."I tried reaching for a puck and got hit," , Daze told the Chicago Sun-Times. "That tweaked it again, and I didn't go back on the ice."And he might not again."I'm still pondering my decision," Daze said. "A decision has to be made, but I haven't talked to my family yet. The last two weeks, I've been resting and being patient with myself. There's nothing surgical that can be done anymore. My back is past surgery."Schremp likely headed to minorsSeptember 27, 2006Nobody has said it outright, but Rob Schremp will likely start his pro career in the AHL.According to the Edmonton Sun, Oilers head coach Craig MacTavish is leaning towards sending the OHL scoring standout to the American League. Historically, MacTavish has always preferred to have his rookies start in the minors."The jury is still out on him, we're going to see how he plays in the remaining three games," MacTavish told the Sun. "But I don't think it would be hurtful in any way, shape, or form for anybody to start the year in the American League. Not that he's going to, but that's obviously one of the options we have."</blockquote>
