Hejduk has played his entire career for the Avalanche franchise, dating back to the 1998-1999 season. Hejduk tallied 375 goals in his career, but has dropped off with age, scoring 14 last season and just four in the shortened 2013 campaign.","date":"Fri Apr 26"},"fullName":"Milan Hejduk","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Hejduk will always be a threat to score in the NHL, even if he is 36 years old. However, the opportunities to score may be lessened as Hejduk accepts a role down the team's depth chart to provide some counter-offense on checking lines. If Hejduk is to find some attention from fantasy owners this season it will likely occur due to a specialist role on the power play, where he has freedom to roam a bit more unchecked. However, the Avs do boast an extended crop of top-six-worthy forwards that could result in three lines of offense being created. What if coach Joe Sacco leaves the top two lines from the end of last season alone coming into this season? That would mean Hejduk would skate with P.A. Parenteau and a rejuvenated Matt Duchene. So while Hejduk can probably be left out of most fantasy owners plans, he shouldn't be ignored coming into the season.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":-5.7,"playerRater15DAY":-5.6,"positionRank":108}
