Roster Mishap?

Phil Kessel is not currently on the Boston Bruins roster on their website. Is this a mistake or is Hossa coming to town?

Update 1:45 pm

According to TSN, Phil Kessel's absence is merely due to a paper transaction to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs. I'm not sure why he would do this now. I'm kind of lost on it so, I'll just let it play out.

Update 2:19
From the Bruins Website
Jim Benning, From the 2 o'clock podcast:
"Phil never got traded...we're keeping Phil. Phil is part of our future and he's a Bruin."

Jim also said:
"We got one more thing in the fire, here. We'll see how that turns out."

From Peter Chiarelli...
"At this point It's starting to loosen up a bit...Hossa hasn't gone yet. We're not in that mix.

"We are in on one thing, it's down to us and another team, and we'll know shortly -- we've been working on that all morning."

Form the Bs website. And no, Phil Kessel's name is not on the site.

According to TSN (here in Canada our ESPN) he was sent down to Providence by Chia to maintain his eligibility for the AHL playoffs if the Bruins don't make it and will be called up again. They claim that it is just a paper transaction in that regard, and that he actually isn't physically going there.
