Gregory Campbell: Placed on unconditional waivers
Campbell was placed on unconditional waivers Saturday, Aaron Portzline reports.
Campbell refuses to report to AHL Cleveland, as he's said in the past that he doesn't want to take a spot away from a young prospect. That speaks volumes about the veteran pivot's character, but rules are rules, and the nobleman will be bought out of his contract to become an unrestricted free agent; assuming he clears waivers, of course.

Gregory Campbell: Receives suspension Saturday
Campbell was suspended by the Blue Jackets on Saturday for failing to report to AHL Cleveland, Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch reports.
Campbell did not report to the minor-league club after clearing waivers Saturday and as a result, he'll be temporarily restricted from competitive action. The 32-year-old center will have to forfeit his $1.3 million salary this season for failing to join the Monsters. In the meantime, Campbell is reportedly training with Kitchener in Ontario's junior league until he settles on his next career move.

Gregory Campbell: Giving way to younger skaters
While Campbell has cleared waivers with the purpose of being reassigned to AHL Cleveland, the veteran center will not report to the minor-league club, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
As noted in the report, this is not a sign of malcontent from Campbell -- it's quite the contrary, as the 32-year-old's agent said, "He was a young player at one point in time, and older players didn't come in and take his position away. He doesn't want to do that." Campbell will have to forfeit $1.3 million in salary if he officially refuses to report to the minors, and a suspension could be forthcoming. Either way, he should be off the radar in most fantasy circles.

Campbell was placed on waivers for reassignment Monday, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Campbell played all 82 games for the Blue Jackets last season, but at 32 years old, may have lost a step and was beat out for a spot by Matt Calvert and Scott Hartnell. The veteran, who hasn't played in the minors since 2006, will be reassigned to the defending Calder Cup Champions, AHL Cleveland unless claimed off the waiver wire.

Blue Jackets' Gregory Campbell: Produces extremely rare points Friday
Campbell provided some unlikely scoring Friday, potting a goal and adding a helper in a 3-2 loss to the Penguins.
The fourth-liner exploded -- by his standards -- offensively in this one, picking up his seventh and eighth points of the season. With an average ice time of less than 11 minutes a night and a minus-10 rating, Campbell won't be fantasy relevant any time soon -- even if your league counts PIM, of which he has 74.
