Fantasy Analysis

The 28-year-old Vaananen had a goal and nine assists in 46 games with the Flyers this season, but was placed on waivers to clear salary cap space for the return of center Daniel Briere. Vaananen, who has 67 points in 476 NHL games over seven seasons, is making $1 million this season. Vaananen is usually more of a healthy body when active in the NHL and has very minimal Fantasy appeal.
(Updated 02/27/2009).

D Ossi Vaananan replaced D Sami Salo (lower body) Tuesday in Chicago, and while Vaananen isn't going to make anyone forget Salo's offensive upside (three goals, six points in five playoff games), he was effective, making safe, smart plays in his own end after an ill-advised cross-checking penalty in the opening minutes. It was only Vaananen's fifth game since being claimed off waivers from Philadelphia more than two months ago, and he was right around his eight to nine minutes average against the skilled Blackhawks, well short of the 21-plus minutes Salo logs as the team's best defenseman. "Every time we've had to use Ossi he's played his eight to 10 minutes and played it safe," coach Alain Vigneault said with a laugh. "That's what we want him to do. We don't want him to have the puck too much." 56//2009
