Flyers' Matt Read: Has offseason thumb surgery

Read underwent surgery on his thumb Wednesday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Read missed just three games all year while averaging 15:15 in ice time in those outings. Given his consistency, it is unlikely the 30-year-old will miss any time next season. Despite his durability, fantasy owners are unlikely to be clamoring to pick up the winger, as he managed just 11 goals and 15 helpers, including ending the campaign on a 22-game scoreless streak.
