Boll officially announced his retirement after 11 NHL seasons Wednesday, The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boll spent nine seasons with the Blue Jackets and two more in Anaheim, averaging 118 PIM and roughly 94 hits per campaign. He'd only amass 66 points over 579 career games, but Boll always stood up for his teammates, and he really made a name for himself earlier in his career when almost every team had a designated enforcer. Nowadays, the NHL game is centered around speed and skill -- even for fourth-liners.

Boll was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks needed room for goalie Reto Berra on the active roster, so Boll drew the short straw. He's a physical winger who's PIM-laden game would've fit better in the earlier part of this decade.

Boll was called up from AHL San Diego on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks needed the extra depth with Patrick Eaves (illness) and Michael Liambas (undisclosed) still unavailable. Boll, a physical winger, gets the last laugh here, as the Ducks exposed him to waivers in mid-December.

Boll was waived by Anaheim on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boll had been on the injured reserve for Anaheim, but this roster move must mean he's healthy. The 31-year-old forward has just one assist in eight games this season.

Boll (undisclosed) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

Boll was rocked by two punches during his scrap with LA's Andy Andreoff in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Kings, so the fact that he's dealing with an injury doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 31-year-old forward, who has potted one goal in eight games this season, can be considered out indefinitely.

Boll was a healthy scratch during Tuesday's 6-2 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Boll averaged just 4:01 of ice time through the first six games of the season, so with Anaheim returning forwards to the lineup, it wasn't surprising to see him sit this contest out. He hasn't posted a double-digit point total since the 2010-11 campaign, so there aren't many fantasy settings where he moves the needle, and especially since Boll could have trouble slotting into the lineup going forward.

Boll (back) will start training camp off the injury list.

EDGE Analysis

This injury was described as a "bad back" and wasn't expected to continue into the season. Boll averaged just 5:49 of ice time in 51 games last season, and the veteran enforcer spent 87 minutes in the box.

Boll played with a "bad back" this postseason.

EDGE Analysis

There's been no indication that Boll's injury will be a long-term ordeal, so he should be ready for the start of next season's training camp. Either way, his health shouldn't be of much concern to fantasy owners. The 31-year-old winger only managed to pick up three assists in 51 games this season.

Boll will play Friday in Game 2 against the Oilers, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boll will take the place of Nick Ritchie; both players are gritty, but it's Ritchie with the offensive skills, so this lineup change is a bit surprising to us. While Boll is far more experienced in terms of actual NHL service time, he's only appeared in three playoff games in nine years, and none since he was a member of the Blue Jackets in the 2013-14 season.

Boll was a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game Sunday against Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

With just two assists and only nine shots on net through 41 games this season, Boll's only fantasy appeal was his contribution in the PIM column (73). Now that he's likely to watch from the press box most nights, he's nothing more than a desperation option, and counting on Boll in any setting is ill-advised.
