Fantasy Analysis
The 36-year-old was contemplating retirement at the end of March, but he's decided to return next year for another campaign. Milan Hejduk recorded a career-low 37 points (14G, 23A) this year despite missing only one game. He finished with a minus-12 ratio, but the team clearly felt the veteran winger was worth bringing back. Hejduk has spent his entire 12-year NHL career with the Avalanche. (Updated 05/18/2012).

03/15/2012 21:57 Devils beat Avalanche in 1-0 shootout
Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise scored in the shootout to give the New Jersey Devils a 1-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.
It looks like the 35-year-old Hejduk will finish his career in Colorado after signing a one-year, $2.6 million dollar contract with the Avs back in May. Hejduk scored 22 goals in 2010-11, the 11th consecutive season in which he has scored 20 or more, and added 34 helpers. Despite his advancing age, he remains a decent late-round fantasy option in most formats. Playing with young guns like Matt Duchene and Paul Stastny - and perhaps incoming second-overall draft pick Gabriel Landeskog - does nothing but add to Hejduk's fantasy appeal. (Updated 10/4/11)
