He has yet to play a singlegame this season."On Sept. 11, the night before training camp, Dustin reached out tome,"Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said in a conference call with reporters on Friday."We met in my office that evening ... and he didn't know if he had it in him to continue playing in the NHL.It was something that I think is still somewhat of a private matter and that'll stay somewhat private, butit was emotional. It was tough on him to even come in and talk to me. At that time I asked if he wanted a trade and he said it hadnothing to do with atrade."After giving him some time, weconnected again together at the arena," he continued. "Wehad another long conversation about where things were at. Procedurally for us, we were getting to the point where we had to start making some roster decisions, cap reductionsand the Chris Stratton Jersey like. At that point in time,I asked him if things had changed or if he still didn't want toretire, but he still didn't know if he had it in him to continue Josh Bell Jersey to play. ...
