Definitely a scary incident. hopefully he is OK in the long term. Hartnell scored 25 goals and 49 points last season for the Flyers, accruing 142 PIM in the process. Expect similar production across the board playing alongside Daniel Briere.
Just a precautionary measure. Calvert scored 11 goals and 20 points through his first 42 NHL games last season. Feel free to draft him if you already planned on doing so.
Schneider should be fine to start the regular season. In his rookie year the 25-year-old impressed with a .929 SV% and 2.23 GAA. Should he stay injured, look for Eddie Lack to get the first crack at the backup role.
Always a good sign that 'The Kid' isn't suffering from any setbacks.
With Nicklas Lidstrom also pondering retirement, Kronwall's becomes an even more important cog in the Red Wings's system. Last season he scored 11 goals and 37 points in 77 games. Look for him to top those stats this season.
When Brown does return he should play a prominent role on the gritty fourth line. Last season he scored three goals and eight points while adding 69 PIM. He probably won't help your fantasy team.
Sounds like he is just day-to-day. Bozak struggled offensively last season, finishing with 15 goals but a minus-29 rating as the team's top-line center. He feels more comfortable as the third line center, which should help his counting stats but likely not his fantasy value.
If he is healthy, he should play on the third line with Nazem Kadri and Colby Armstrong. Lombardi posted 19 goals and 53 points during the '09 - '10 campaign but missed all-but-two games due to a concussion last season.
Gagner will likely be held out of the lineup for precautionary measures. The diminutive center scored 15 goals and 42 points last season, mostly centering the second and third lines. Expect those totals to increase as he is expected to center the top line.
This performance should help concerns over his healthy die down. Two years ago, Streit 11 goals and 49 points while quarterbacking the PP. With an improved team, look for the Swiss captain to at least hit those totals.
Great sign for the vertigo-laden Hiller. Should he continue this path, all concerns over his ailment will slowly disappear. Feel safer drafting/keeping the Swiss 'tender.
Last season Halak struggled with his consistency, eventually even getting sidelined. Through a career-high 57 games played, the Slovakian netminder posted a respectable 2.48 GAA but saw his SV% drop from .924 to .910. Expect a more consistent performance in year two.
Korpikoski could play a much bigger role due to departures and the Kyle Turris holdout. Last season the Finnish forward scored 19 goals and 40 points. Look for him to top 20 goals and approach 50 points over a full season if given the ice time.
The 25-year-old will be demoted to the AHL at the end of training camp. Thiessen won 35 of his 46 starts last season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Should Marc-Andre Fleury get hurt, the Pens have a solid contingency plan.
Stalberg could continue to see time along Jonathan Toews during the regular season. In his first season with the Blackhawks, the Swede scored 12 goals and 24 points. Look for those totals to increase in his second season with the organization.
