Lupul is healthy following arthroscopic knee surgery in April, the Toronto Star reports.

Analysis:

The season-ending knee procedure was one of several maladies that ailed Lupul last season, with a bum foot and a groin strain also contributing to his 13 missed games. The winger has been bitten hard by the injury bug the last several years, making it difficult to justify investing too much into him on draft day. That being said, when he's healthy, he'll likely be plugged into a top-six role for the Leafs, which should allow him to produce respectably on a per-game basis.
