Blake 'lucky to play in NHL': An emotional Jason Blake won the Bill Masterton Trophy on Thursday as the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. The Toronto Maple Leafs winger was diagnosed with leukemia just before the start of the regular season but never missed a game. "I've been so lucky in life to play in the NHL, have three beautiful kids and be married to a wonderful woman," he said. "I get to play the game I love at the highest level and I get to continue doing it as long as some team wants me." (Updated 06/13/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Blake scored 15 goals and added 37 assists in his first season with the Maple Leafs. He also finished at minus-4. The 52 points were his lowest output since totaling 47 with the Islanders in 2003-04. Blake is good for about 50 points per season, so consider him a nice No. 4 or No. 5 Fantasy forward Draft Day. (Updated 06/13/2008).
