Van Ryn Unavailable for 2011

Scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this Summer, Mike Van Ryn is taking another full season away from the game to help rehabilitate a surgically reconstructed knee that he had realigned in September 2009. Van Ryn did not appear for the Leafs during the 2010 season and will now miss the entire 2011 season, which may even put his career in jeopardy. It sounds like he is taking this rehabilitation one step at a time and we'll probably hear more after the conclusion of next Summer.

This news should only affect you if you were going to be sneaky and try and pick him as a sleeper for your hockey pool this Fall. He has a career-high of 37 points in his 8-year NHL career, so he would be considered a good pick-up, if he was able to get back up to those numbers again.
