Player Notes
June 27, 2008
The Panthers have bought out the remainder of Jozef Stumpel's contract with the club, according to TSN.ca. Stumpel was entering the last season of a two-year contract extension that paid him $2.25 million.

Our View:The 35-year old center is now an unrestricted free agent. He chipped in seven goals and 13 assists over 52 games with the Panthers in 2007-08. He should find work as a deep reserve next season, but won't hold any fantasy value.

Jozef Stumpel was waived by the Panthers on Wednesday, according to the Sun Sentinel. Teams have until noon on Thursday to claim Jozef, but if he passes that point without finding a new home the Panthers will likely buy him out of the remaining year on his contract making him a free agent.

Our View:Stumpel is scheduled to make $2.25 million, and the Panthers would be on the hook for two-thirds of that in a buyout. However, after last seasons total of just 20 points in 52 games, the 35 year old Stumpel likely will have to fight for a spot on an NHL roster in the coming season.

Jozef Stumpel hopes to return to game action on Wednesday, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "There is a possibility there, but I don't really know," Stumpel said. He's working his way back from a separated shoulder, but the Panthers will be cautious to avoid aggravating the injury.

Jozef Stumpel will be out 4-6 weeks with a separated shoulder. He was hurt in his second game back Friday after missing seven games with the same injury. "It hurts because he's an experienced guy who can play on any line," coach Jacques Martin said in the Miami Herald.
February 3, 2008
Jozef Stumpel injured his right shoulder again during Friday's game, according to the Miami Herald. It was just his second game back after missing seven contests due to the initial injury. The Panthers didn't have any information on the severity of this injury, but it's likely that he'll miss some more action.
January 13, 2008
Jozef Stumpel sustained a shoulder injury during Saturday's game. It's expected to sideline him for at least 7-10 days, according to the Miami Herald. Stumpy's not producing like he once did. In fact, with just six goals, 18 points and a minus-10 rating, he's probably not on many fantasy rosters right now.
