it boggles my mind that teams are actually still messing around with this stuff.

From ESPN:
Benn (wrist) is unlikely to play Tuesday against the Predators.
Spin: X-rays on Benn's wrist revealed no break, with Monday's news also clarifying that the hit that Benn absorbed Saturday did not result in a concussion.

he is on the ice for practice

Stars morning skate. Jamie Benn, Brenden Morrow and Ray Whitney all on the ice. No lines yet.
That is good news, as long as he isn't trying to play through a concussion.

I gambled and left him in my lineup for the week...actually, I had a few too many beer Saturday night and came home past the lineup cut off time. Sounds like he may play tonight. I could use some points. Fingers crossed.

Jamie Benn (wrist) probably won't play on Thursday.
Benn missed Wednesday's practice. He has lower body soreness in addition to a wrist injury.
Source: Stars.nhl.com
I have a feeling this is more serious then the Stars make it seem...
No kidding.
First it was a suspected concussion.
Then they say nooo it's not a concussion it's just a wrist injury, he won't miss long.
Then they say oops, he's probably not gonna play Thursday he actually has a LBI too.
Tomorrow they'll probably say ooh no he actually just has the stomach flu.

The way NHL teams hide injuries or, even worse, provide false information really annoys me. I know they want to "protect" the player and that the player has certain privacy rights, but let's be real for a minute. The NHL is a business and the fans of the NHL make or lose money on gambling (including fantasy hockey, pro line, etc.) and we also buy tickets to see certain players play. If Benn is going to be injured, maybe I don't buy a ticket to go to a Dallas hockey game when they are visiting my home town.
Other sports have accepted this fact and disclose injuries openly and honestly so that the consumer has all the necessary information when making a decision to "buy" the product.
