Player Notes
September 18, 2008
Mark Eaton, who suffered a torn ACL in late December that caused him to miss 46 games and then the playoffs, returned to the ice on Wednesday for the Penguins, according to the Beaver County Times.

Our View:Eaton will take up residence as one of the team's top-6 on the blue line, and though he provides little in the way of points or PIMs, he is a tremendous stay at home defender who blocks a ton of shots.

Mark Eaton, an unrestricted free agent, signed a 2-year deal worth $2 million, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Our View:Injuries have held Eaton to just 71 games the past two years, and even though he tore his ACL and had surgery on June 14th, he is expected to be ready to skate by training camp.

Mark Eaton, out due to reconstructive surgery on his knee, will have an MRI this week with the goal of being able to play before the end of the playoffs, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. "I think he's pushing the envelope a little bit right now anyway, in terms of a timetable," GM Ray Shero said.

Our View:Eaton has no value on offense with only three points in 36 regular season games, and considering how much time he has missed due to the injured knee, it would be a shock to see the club reinsert him in the lineup at this point even if he were deemed healthy.
