Shoulder Worse Than Expected for Stumpel

The reports are in... and it's not good news for any of the parties involved. Jozef Stumpel (Marcus) had himself some further tests on his injured shoulder and the diagnosis was not positive.

It looks like the veteran forward will be missing upwards of 6 weeks with his separated shoulder, which doesn't leave him much playing time at all at the end of the season. If at all possible, it is recommended that Stumpel should be dropped or made inactive on your pool team, possibly for the rest of the season. After the 8-0 thumping of Toronto, it doesn't look like they're going to miss him either.

For Marcus, this makes the fourth injury in the last 8 days to his pool side. His last waiver pick may need some quality pondering before the decision is made.
