Brendan Morrison underwent successful hernia surgery on June 7. He is the NHL's reigning iron man and he could finally play pain-free this year, for the first time in two years. If so, I think he could get back up into the 60s. 

 

There are some suggestions going around the media that Ottawa will fire John Muckler as GM. They must have heard Dobber was available. Dobber for GM!

 

It turns out Jassen Cullimore will indeed have his contract bought out by the Habs. So in the end they get Salmelainen and around $1.3 million from Cullimore's salary this year.

 

The Wild signed 6-6 defenseman Andre Lakos. The 27-year-old was New Jersey's third-round pick in 1995. He will likely not make the team, but if he does his upside is 20 points tops, and he doesn't even rack up many PIM's.

 

Confirmed now: the Leafs have signed Simon Gamache out of Switzerland. See yesterday's ramblings for my thoughts…

 

The Philadelphia Flyers are considering giving Tomas Vanek an offer sheet in the $4 million range. Buffalo would match, but they would lose out on Drury and/or Briere to do it.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – Thanks for Vejmelkmories

Elizabeth and Lewis reunite to bring you all the latest fantasy news and strategy, such as how our siblings would fare if called on to fill our roles like Owen Sillinger did for bro Cole. Then it’s onto news including coverage of the postponed CGY/LAK game and defensive injuries piling up in MIN and putting some strain on Gustavsson’s performance. Injuries and outjuries include a pair of goalies returning to their teams in Ingram and Shesterkin, as well as how Monahan’s wrist injury opens the door for big minutes for Fantilli. Finally, the pair touch on Voronkov and PLD’s hot streaks, and discuss John Carlson’s rollercoaster in light of Chychrun’s production.

Keeping Karlsson: Tuch Hunch

On this edition of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast mega-show, Elan and Brian tour every team, ranking a slate of the least bad goalies, noticing the wind in some Red Wings’ and Stars’ sails, dangling snoozer status above a pair of commonly rostered power-play quarterbacks, and rushing or strolling, accordingly, to some skaters on the up and up.
