If possible, I would hold off until the guys get into training camp. I would imagine that all players will need to do a physical upon arrival. Once that happens, teams will be posting that information to the league which will in turn pass down to the various sites. As you mentioned, I haven't heard much of anything other than the odd bit coming out of Europe and whatever can been extracted from the AHL/CHL. I have one pool where I've got Backstrom, Gaborik and Burns. None of them appear ready to start the season.
