Fantasy Analysis
In addition to starting skating drills within the last week, Patrick Eaves has been working out in the gym as well. Assuming that he's able to make it through the summer without a setback, Eaves should be able to reprise a checking-line role for the Wings next season. (Updated 04/22/2012).
11/26/2011 21:34 Red Wings rout Preds for 5th straight win
Valtteri Filppula scored twice to lead the Detroit Red Wings to their fifth straight win, 4-1 over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.
Eaves is back in Detroit after signing a three-year deal as an unrestricted free agent in July. He should be utilized in a similar checking-line role again this season, so the former first-round pick will likely have a difficult time cracking the 30-point mark. Still, the Wings don't need him for his offense, so you should follow their lead unless defensively sound role-players provide value in your league format. (Updated 10/4/11)
