Injury Report
Leg - Doubtful for start of training camp (Updated - 7/2/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Foster needed surgery to repair a fractured femur, and a stabilizing rod was inserted in his upper leg. He has two screws in his knee and one in his hip and is unlikely to be ready to return to the ice for several months. Before the injury, Foster had seven goals and 12 assists in 56 games. He has one of the hardest slap shots on the team and has posted 41 power-play points over three seasons with the Wild. Foster is a low-end Fantasy forward when healthy, but can be left off most Draft Day plans since he will likely be rehabbing. (Updated 07/02/2008).
