Gagne (personal) will not return to the Bruins this season. Gagne has been away from the team for more than a month following the death of his father. The forward has opted to sit out the rest of the season, but Boston will maintain a full roster, as Gagne will officially be listed as "suspended." "At this time Simon feels that he has to be home with his family and he has the complete support of the Boston Bruins organization with this decision," said GM Peter Chiarelli. "Given Simon's decision not to return to the team, we have to change his status to maintain a full roster. I spoke to Simon about this, and he assured me that we have his full support with this status change."
