Simon Despres reassigned to AHL

Ray Shero announced today that defenseman Simon Despres was reassigned to Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins today.  Despres looked good in his 13 game stint with the Penguins, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists in 13 games on the big club.  He also played to a +4 and averaged 15:27 in ice time.  I would assume that this move signals a return to the ice for Paul Martin in time for the Rangers game on Friday night.  I saw nothing that would lead me to believe that 47 will be a full time member of the Penguins by next season at the latest.
