Having played 635 NHL games over his career with Vancouver, Phoenix, and San Jose, Torres has plenty of hockey knowledge he could pass down to the up and comers. However, over the past four seasons, the left winger has appeared in only 44 games due to injuries and suspensions. Now at 35 years old, the veteran has another shot to prove he belongs on an NHL team, but given his temperament and suspec |

Torres has been bothered by a nagging knee injury for much of the 2015-16 campaign, and has decided to forgo the rest of the season in an attempt to get back to full health. The 34-year-old winger is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, and will likely need to earn a roster spot with an NHL club in training camp if he decides to play in 2016-17. |

Since being traded to San Jose in 2013, Torres has played in just 16 games due to injuries and suspensions. After being acquired by Toronto, the veteran was loaned right back to his current AHL team, a clear sign the winger is unlikely to see any NHL action the remainder of the 2015-16 campaign. An unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, Torres is merely another piece in the Maple Leafs' |

It's unclear whether the setback Torres suffered was in relation to the knee injury he was dealing with or just his conditioning in general. More information on Torres' status should be made available as he nears a return to the Sharks' lineup. |

Torres (knee) suffered a "minor setback" and didn't play Monday for the AHL San Jose Barracuda, Curtis Pashelka of the Bay Area News Group reports. |

Torres' long layoff -- combined with a right knee injury that required surgery Dec. 11 -- prompted the Sharks to send him to the minors in order to get him back into game shape. In order for Torres to be added to the active roster, the team decided to place Dainius Zubrus (upper body) on IR. |
As noted in the report, Torres will require additional practice time before he'll rejoin the lineup. He was able to take some contact in a practice last Friday but apparently needs more time to recover. "It's been feeling a little nicer every day," Torres said Friday. "Just have to battle through it and see how it reacts." |

Torres has served a 41-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Anaheim's Jakob Silverberg in a preseason game. However, Torres is still recovering from Dec. 11 surgery on his right knee and is not likely to return Thursday night against the Oilers, Curtis Pashelka of the San Jose Mercury News reports. |

Between his knee and suspensions, Torres has only played 44 regular season games since the start of the 2012-13 season. What little fantasy relevance he may have had at one point has evaporated. It's just not clear that he'll be able to bounce back into NHL shape physically. You'll want to see him prove it before you ever consider rostering him. |

Torres laid a big hit on the Coyotes' Nicklas Grossman early in the game. Torres said, following that hit, that he "didn't feel too fast or too much part of the game." So, he has a little work to do getting back to game speed and feeling the pace. It may be wise for owners to steer clear until he looks 100%. |
He laid a big hit on the Coyotes' Nicklas Grossman early in the game. Torres remarked that he'll need some time to get back up to full game speed, but it was encouraging to see him laying the body right away after such a serious injury. Those in the deepest of leagues should check in on him periodically as the season gets underway. |

Torres is coming off of right knee surgery that he underwent in February, so it's a positive sign that he'll get a chance to shake off some rust in Friday's preseason contest. He is expected to slot into a fourth line role with the Sharks this season, where he'll focus on agitating opponents and chipping in offensively on occasion. |
