Carolina forward Zach Boychuk had wrist surgery Tuesday. From here forward I am refusing to say "successful" surgery like other media outlets. Because they're always successful at first. They're never deemed "unsuccessful" surgeries. I'm taking a stand! Anyway, the small pivot is ranked 141 on my prospects list, basically because he is several years away. He will need three months to recover.
The Ducks signed Logan MacMillan to a three-year entry-level contract. He is ranked 264 in my Fantasy Prospects List.
