Fantasy Analysis
The implication here is that Joe Corvo's injury is not serious, but until we hear something more specific, we'll consider him day-day-day. Corvo's play during the regular season was spotty at times, but in five playoff games, he has performed capably, recording a plus-3 rating in the process. (Updated 04/24/2012).
04/11/2012 10:34 Neutral Zone Wrap: Preparing for playoff pools
If you're in a Fantasy Hockey playoff pool, Evan Berofsky has some advice for you in his latest edition of Neutral Zone Wrap.
Corvo racked up 40 points in 82 games this past season with Carolina -- 18 of them on the power play -- and perhaps he can do more for the B's on the man advantage than the often-maligned Tomas Kaberle did during his stint with the team. Corvo is in the last year of a deal that pays him $2.25 million, a price tag that is $2 million less than what Kaberle got from Carolina, so the price is right. An unfortunate assault incident from the past is something Corvo has tried to put behind him and evidently the Bruins are confident that he has matured enough as a player to help out in the puck-moving department in the wake of the Kaberle experiment, which was a failure overall.
