from Craig Custance of the Sporting News,
When a player comes back from an injury, Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau explains, it’s almost like adding a free agent. He is referring specifically to center Michael Nylander, who struggled through last season with a shoulder problem.
But Boudreau could be the coach or general manager in any NHL city. Almost every team has someone looking to rebound from an off year or debilitating injury.
Five players to watch—plus selected others—with the season only two months away:
1. Simon Gagne, LW, Philadelphia Flyers
Gagne played 25 games last season because of the effects of multiple concussions. He has been cleared to play and should be 100 percent when the season begins.
