M. Gaborik - F

OTT

Gaborik (back) could be placed on long-term injured reserve to open the 2018-19 season, Sporting News reports.

The veteran winger went under the knife in April to repair a herniated disc in his back. There hasn't been any new information on Gaborik since the operation, but that's actually an ominous sign as it implies that he's still rehabbing the injury and not making any obvious strides in his recovery. Placing the 37-year-old on LTIR would be a prudent move for the Senators considering it would free up salary-cap space against the upper limit, though it would further decimate what little fantasy value Gaborik even has left.

H. Zetterberg - F

DET

Zetterberg's (back) health remains a serious concern for the Red Wings ahead of training camp, The Detroit News reports.

Numerous reports have trickled in over the summer speculating that Zetterberg could possibly be lost for the season, and the latest news is anything but positive. "He's had a hard summer and I don't think his back is reacting great," head coach Jeff Blashill said Wednesday. "Certainly we'll know more in a month (at training camp), but as of today, there's a lot of doubt as to whether his back will be healthy enough to play." If Zetterberg doesn't play, then 22-year Dylan Larkin -- who signed a five-year, $30 million extension earlier this month -- would open the season as the top-line center.

O. Kase - F

ANA

Kase signed a three-year, $7.8 million contract with the Ducks on Wednesday.

Kase enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2017-18, setting career highs in goals (20), assists (18) and shots on goal (146) in 66 appearances. The 22-year-old winger should only continue to improve during his junior campaign in 2018-19, and could threaten the 50-point mark if he's able to stay healthy, making him a solid bench option in most fantasy formats.

R. Callahan - F

Callahan (shoulder) participated in an informal workout on the ice Wednesday.

This was a voluntary workout for the Lightning regulars, but Callahan reportedly returned to the ice one day after showing up for an off-ice session. Considering the bottom-six winger underwent surgery as recently as May 31, this latest development should be viewed as a remarkable milestone in his recovery. While he still could be held out until the beginning of November, Callahan sounds pleased with his progress. "It's good to get back on the ice," he said. "Shoulder felt good. Everything that I did out there - obviously no shooting yet - doing some stickhandling, working on the skating, everything went well."

C. Schneider - G

Schneider has been dealing with his hip injury since 2016-17, NJ.com reports.

Schneider continues to recover from hip surgery that was performed in May, but it's now been revealed that he's been struggling with this injury since the 2016-17 season. With the Devils, his save percentage had never been lower than .921, and that dropped to .908 and .907, respectively, during his two most recent campaigns. Meanwhile, his worst GAA went from 2.26 to 2.82 and 2.93 marks. New Jersey needs him at his best, so don't expect him to be rushed back. He could miss all of training camp and the start of the season, giving Keith Kinkaid the reins in net.

T. Wingels - F

BOS

Wingels inked a one-year deal with Geneve-Servette (NLA) on Wednesday.

Last season, Wingels spent time with both the Blackhawks and Bruins. In 75 appearances between those clubs, he managed 17 points and dressed in four of Boston's playoff games, going pointless in the postseason. Wingels, 30, never appeared comfortable following his trade from the Sharks and unless he's able to put together a special season abroad, the chances of him returning to the NHL are slim at best.

L. Bouma - F

CHI

Bouma inked a one-year deal with Geneve-Servette (NLA) on Wednesday.

Bouma spent the end of the 2017-18 campaign with AHL Rockford after going unclaimed off waivers. Considering no NHL team was willing to take a look at him in February, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him bound for Europe. If the winger is unable to earn his was back to the NHL, he will finish his career with 30 goals and 46 assists in 357 outings.

V. Pokka - D

CHI

Pokka will spend the 2018-19 campaign playing for Avangard Omsk in the KHL.

Pokka -- who was drafted 34th overall in 2012 -- has yet to break into the NHL, instead spending the past four seasons in the AHL. With no clear path into the Senators lineup, the 24-year-old will hope to jump-start his career in Russia.

A. Sekera - D

EDM

Sekera underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn Achilles tendon. While the operation was deemed successful, he will be out indefinitely.

This is awful news for Sekera and the Oilers, especially since the defenseman was limited to 36 games last season. In fact, a torn ACL that he sustained in the 2017 playoffs pushed his 2017-18 season debut back to Dec. 21 and the Czech skater also missed time with a facial injury last year. Kevin Gravel -- who signed a two-year deal with the Oilers on July 1 -- could be asked to fill the void by spending most of his time at the top level in the coming season. Prospect Evan Bouchard could be in the mix as well.

A. Crescenzi - F

Crescenzi inked a contract with HC Bolzano (EBEL) on Thursday.

Crescenzi will be making his first foray into European hockey, having played exclusively in North America. Last year, the center earned two games with the Kings, in which he averaged a mere 7:52 of ice time. With no NHL deal forthcoming, the 26-year-old will look to continue his professional career abroad.

M. Letestu - F

CBJ

Letestu signed a deal for a professional tryout with the Panthers on Tuesday.

This is a bit surprising, as Letestu is only 33, and he's been an NHL regular since the 2009-10 season. The veteran even played in the postseason with Columbus last year, although he was held without a point and saw his minutes plummet as the playoffs went on. Letestu is betting on himself by agreeing to a PTO, and he's hoping he can secure a role as a depth forward with the Panthers. If he can't, he could have to settle for a two-way contract or a sojourn in Europe.

R. Ellis - D

NSH

Ellis signed an eight-year, $50 million contract extension with the Predators on Tuesday, Adam Vingan of The Tennessean reports.

Ellis has been a consistent two-way presence for the Preds ever since he emerged as a full-timer in the 2013-14 campaign. The team's 11th overall selection from the 2009 draft accumulated 32 points (nine goals, 23 assists) over 44 regular-season games to complement an immaculate plus-26 rating last year. As the type of player who will do anything for his team, Ellis has also accrued 302 hits and 558 blocked shots over 396 career contests. Factor in how the Predators have been a playoff team in four straight years and you're looking at a legit No. 1 fantasy option from the blue line.
