Canucks' Joseph LaBate: Adds depth for team plagued by mumps

Labate was called up from AHL Utica on Friday, Sportsnet's John Shannon reports.

Analysis:

It stands to reason that Labate wouldn't have been promoted under ordinary circumstances, but the Canucks currently have five players quarantined with mumps. The physical winger has struggled in the minors as the owner of just nine points with a minus-10 rating through 25 games. You can safely pass over him in all fantasy circles.
