Price (knee) won't begin skating until mid-August, the Tri-City Herald reports.

Analysis:

Price injured his knee in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals and was knocked out of the playoffs, but he did not need surgery. The knee has healed enough for him to play in a charity golf event, but it won't be clear if the knee is in hockey shape until August.
