Fantasy Analysis
The 6-4, 225-pound defenseman will be entering his 12th NHL season and the Oilers will be his fifth team. Strudwick, who is about to turn 33, has played 488 career NHL games since turning pro with the New York Islanders in 1995-96. He has tallied 38 points (11 goals) and registered 678 career penalty minutes during his career that has seen him play with the Islanders, Vancouver, Chicago and the New York Rangers. He played in 52 games last season with the Rangers, recording one goal, one assists and 40 penalty minutes. Strudwick is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy flier in leagues that reward heavily for PIM. (Updated 07/10/2008).
