Headlines

Sopel stuck in limbo: The Sports Xchange reports Blackhawks D Brent Sopel is in limbo. Sopel appeared fully recovered from elbow surgery in December when he participated in full workouts throughout the playoffs, but never dressed. He has another two seasons left on his contract, but the Hawks have no room for him now that young defensemen Cam Barker and Niklas Hjalmarsson have proved that they can do the job.

Injury Report

Elbow - Probable for the start of training camp
(Updated - 6/17/09)

Fantasy Analysis

Sopel is due $2.3 million for each of the next two seasons, so it could be hard for Chicago to unload his hefty contract. The 10-year veteran has had two straight injury-plagued seasons with the Blackhawks and perhaps a change of scenery will do him some good. If he returns in 2009-10, Chicago will still find a role for him. Sopel is going to be more of a low-end Fantasy defenseman and flier in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats no matter where he plays.
