News:The Sports Xchange reports Flames C Jason Jaffray, who defied the odds by making the team out of training camp despite having a two-way contract and the squad boasting 14 forwards with one-way contracts, was the lone healthy scratch for Thursday's opener against the Canucks. It didn't bother the 28-year-old from the town of Olds, about an hour away from Calgary, who'd never been on an opening-day roster before.
Analysis: Jaffray played in 14 games for the Vancouver Canucks last season, recording two goals and two assists. He also had 23 goals and 26 assists in 56 games with Manitoba of the AHL. Jaffray has pretty much been organizational depth since turning pro and that likely won't change in 2009-10. It's safe to ignore him in Fantasy.

News: Vancouver C Jason Jaffray was sent to Manitoba of the AHL Saturday after clearing waivers.

News:The Sports Xchange reports Canucks C Jason Jaffray got back into the lineup Sunday against the Senators, replacing Taylor Pyatt, who is out at least four weeks with a broken foot. Jaffray centered the fourth line on Sunday between LW Darcy Hordichuk and RW Mike Brown.
Analysis: For Jaffray, it's a chance to earn a regular spot in the lineup. "These last few games, I really wanted to prove a point that I deserve to stay here," Jaffray said. "With Mats Sundin coming and Ryan Johnson back in the mix soon, they're going to have to make some decisions and I just want to make the decision tough on them -- that's all I can do." Jaffray has been primarily a minor leaguer and could be back down in the AHL shortly. He has little to no Fantasy value at this time.
News:The Sports Xchange reports C Jason Jaffray is giving the Canucks' fourth line something it was missing with veteran C Ryan Johnson: offense. With Jaffray recalled from the AHL, where he had 17 points in 17 games, after the penalty-killing, shot-blocking specialist Johnson broke his hand and foot, the fourth line has scored in consecutive games. And Jaffray, who has a goal and an assist, was even rewarded with power play time in Colorado Sunday, filling in for Mason Raymond, who moved back to the point after Sami Salo left with a suspected groin injury late in the first period.
Analysis: Jaffray is definitely giving some energy to the Canucks' fourth line, but how excited can Fantasy owners get about a lower-line forward? Jaffray has been primarily a minor leaguer and could be back down in the AHL shortly. He has little to no Fantasy value at this time.
News: Canucks forward Jason Jaffray scored the game-winning goal during Friday's 2-1 win against the Wild.

Goalie Niklas Backstrom tried to squeeze his glove on Jaffray's shot, but it zoomed underneath. Jaffray also got into a fight with Brent Burns in the third period.
Analysis: Jaffray has been up for just three games this season, but he wasn't added for his enforcer skills. In fact, he doesn't really have a reputation as a fighter, but he is a solid two-way player. Jaffray has been primarily a minor leaguer and could be back down in the AHL shortly. He has little to no Fantasy value at this time.
News: The Canucks have recalled C Jason Jaffray from Manitoba (AHL) and reassigned C Alexandre Bolduc to Manitoba.
Analysis: Jaffray was up and down with the Canucks last season and earned his recall this season with 17 points in his first 17 games for the Moose. Along with Bolduc, he can be ignored in all Fantasy formats, however.

News: LW Mason Raymond and C Jason Jaffray made the most of their call-up from the AHL after the Canucks lost C Brendan Morrison (wrist surgery) and RW Brad Isbister (hamstring) were both injured. Playing on a second line with Taylor Pyatt, Raymond and Jaffray, who played more than 350 games in the minors, took turns setting up each other's first NHL goals in a 3-2 win over Anaheim on Wednesday night.
Analysis: "That far exceeds my expectations, to get regular shifts with Taylor Pyatt and Mason Raymond and also get a chance to play on the power play," Jaffray, 26, said after his first NHL game. "It couldn't have happened any better for me, to get a goal and an assist. It seemed like all the waiting was definitely worth it." Neither Raymond or Jaffray are worth looking at outside of larger leagues.
News: The Vancouver Canucks have assigned RW Mike Brown, D Patrick Coulombe and C Jason Jaffray to Manitoba of the AHL, as they trimmed their roster down to 24.
Analysis: We might see these players some time later in the season if injuries open up spots, but neither is worth a look in Fantasy leagues at this time.
News: Jaffray, who led the Manitoba Moose of the AHL in scoring in 2006-07 with 35 goals and 46 assists, is getting a look during training camp with the Vancouver Canucks. "I'm excited for the opportunity," Jaffray told the Vancouver Sun. "Last year, all the talk was about their lack of offence so it's exciting for me knowing I had a great season. I scored 35 goals in the AHL and I have been a proven scorer in the lower leagues. I am looking at this as a chance to open some eyes and make the team."
Analysis: Jaffray, who has played for six different minor-league teams in six years, finally appears to be getting his shot after going undrafted. Jaffray might have a little longer of a leash since Vigneault coached him in Manitoba. At least he has it in his contract this season that he can be recalled by the NHL team, something which has been missing in the past. At this point, he is a long shot to make the club, but an exciting player nonetheless. Keep an eye on him during the preseason and consider him in deeper Fantasy leagues if he makes the roster.
