The latest Yahoo note:
"Booth (concussion) will miss at least one week of action, but the team is largely encouraged by his condition upon release from a Philadelphia hospital, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
Recommendation: Panthers GM Randy Sexton said he was pleasantly surprised by how positive and coherent Booth sounded during a phone conversation the two had Sunday. More encouraging news is that this is Booth's first concussion, but the Panthers will clearly proceed with caution as one of their brightest offensive stars recovers.

Regardless of fantasy needs, it's great that this appears to be less serious than first thought.

I would stay away from Booth, this sounds like it could be Patrice Bergeron's concussion. I have Booth in the Dobber Experts league and I will give it a week or two and see what the prognosis is and I may cut my losses drop him.

Update on David Booth: He's coming along slowly and is expected to be at Incredible Ice tommorrow, but still has some post-concussion symptoms.
"It's going to be baby steps here as we go forward," Pete said. "It's too early to really be testing him on anything. With any kind of concussion like that, the first thing to do is to get rid of all the symptoms. Once he's symptom free you can start trying some different things and we're not to that stage yet."
any more updates? is he even going to come back this season then?? I only have two IR spots on my team .. but I have Booth, Franzen, D.Sedin, E.Staal ... good thing McDonald, and Dumont came back!!
but still holding on to first place barely - can't wait till the full team comes back and gets in gear!
