McDonald has still not began skating which is an indication of just how far away he is from returning. Don't expect to see the veteran forward back in the lineup any time soon.
McDonald likely is out indefinitely creating an opportunity for Vladimir Sobotka and Evgeni Grachev. Look for him to return to practice well before returning to the lineup.
McDonald's injury makes room for Vladimir Sobotka to move back to a scoring line. Expect him out indefinitely which likely means you can drop him in single-season leagues.
McDonald is believed to be out with yet another concussion. Stay tuned for a further update but this infliction likely sidelines him for a long time.
With a history of concussion problems, this news is certainly not good for the undrafted forward. Through his first three games, the 34-year-old posted two assists. Expect Evgeni Grachev to get the first crack at his spot.
McDonald will start the season on the top line. Although he only played 58 games last season, he finished with 20 goals and 30 points -- good for fourth on the team. Feel free to draft the versatile forward in deeper leagues with mixed league value above replacement level.
