Matt Bradley News
I asked Dineen about concussed forward Matt Bradley and the news isn’t good. While he did say Brads was doing light workouts he’s not close to returning. After sniffing around I’m inferring that Bradley could be done for the season.
Tough break for the gritty Bradley. He has three goals and eight points in 44 games.

Line Change
And Bradley and Ellerby as well #flapanthers
No Bradley tonight although he's travelling with the team. Bradley has never topped 74 PIM over a full season. Don't expect too much of anything besides hits once he does return.
Matt Bradley back practicing with the Panthers.
Bradley remains out indefinitely but returning to practice is certainly the first step. There are certainly better options than a fourth liner with no timetable to return.
Bradley, Goc still out indefinitely
There are certainly better options than a fourth liner with no timetable to return.
And forwards Matt Bradley (upper body) and Marcel Goc (concussion symptoms) aren’t making the trip and will miss at least the next three games.
Despite dropping the gloves with relative frequency, Bradley has never topped 74 PIM over a full season. Don't expect too much of anything besides hits once he does return.
Kevin Dineen says #FlaPanthers Matt Bradley out through this coming week
Bradley is expected to miss a significant amount of time. He holds very limited fantasy hockey value as a fourth liner.
Matt Bradley (upper body injury) is out for a while.
Bradley is expected to miss significant time with his upper-body injury eliminating whatever bleak fantasy hockey value he had. The fourth liner registered a goal and an assist through his first 17 games with the Cats.
Matt Bradley left Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury. If he can't go Thursday, the Panthers are in trouble. Not much left in the San Antonio well apparently.
Bradley plays a checking line role but would severely deplete the team's resources should he remain out. Our best guess is that the team recalls Bracken Kearns.
In other news, Stephen Weiss and Matt Bradley won’t play as they’re both nursing nicks.
Bradley will probably be fine for the season opener as the team hopes rest will get him back to full strength. The 31-year-old could pot 10 goals from the fourth line but won't be worth much more.
GM Dale Tallon and co. not resting as they signed RW Matt Bradley today.
