Would you believe it? Sheldon Souray is out for the year following surgery to repair his injured shoulder. The big off-season signing brought in to revitalize the powerplay has been decent when in the line-up, but Souray's just been injured far too often. We'll reserve judgment on the double S until next year, but he'd better be shooting seven kinds of smoke next year.

'Cause otherwise he may become Edmonton's own David Beckham: pretty to look at, hurt all the time and marginally effective at best.
