Vanek has been suffering from broken and displaced ribs, but will not require offseason surgery on the issue, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press reports.

Analysis:

Vanek's was labeled day-to-day toward the end of the playoff run, so the issue likely wouldn't have cost him much more time. There's no reason to believe the winger won't be ready to go for the start of 2016-17, looking to build on a campaign in which he tallied 41 points in 74 games.
