Per TSN, Bryan McCabe could miss an extensive period of time with a possible broken back. X-rays have already shown 1 fractured vertebrae, an injury that takes at least 6 months to recover from if everything heals accordingly.
Fantasy Impact:
This is a huge blow to the Florida Panthers who are already battling some early injury issues. If McCabe misses extensive time, look for Keith Ballard to step up and quarterback the power play. Ballard has serious offensive instincts and could spend significant time quarterbacking the Panther power play. He may not be the best option in shallower leagues, but managers in deeper leagues should consider Ballard as a replacement for now.
