Toni Lydman might be considering retirement after turning down two separate two-year contracts each worth a total of $5 million, according to TSN's Aaron Ward. It's worth noting that Lydman suffered a concussion during the Ducks' first-round series loss to the Red Wings. We haven't seen anything that would connect the two, but it's possible the effects of the injury have lingered. Lydman had six assists and 12 penalty minutes in 35 games with Anaheim last season.

Toni Lydman admitted to suffering a concussion in the Anaheim Ducks' first-round series loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Lydman never returned after a Justin Abdelkader check to his head in Game 3. Lydman eventually copped to suffering migraines as a result of the hit, which earned Abdelkader a two-game suspension by the league. While concussions can bother players for undetermined lengths of time, hopefully Lydman will be alright by training camp in September.

Toni Lydman was unable to return to the Anaheim lineup due to migraines. The secret is out now that the Ducks have been eliminates. Lydman was knocked out of the series on a Justin Abdelkader check to his head in Game 3, a hit that cost Abdelkader a two game suspension and Lydman a lot more than that. Hopefully the migraine issue will clear up over the summer and Lydman will be all right to participate at training camp in September. He will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer and it remains to be seen whether or not the Ducks are still interested in his services.

Toni Lydman (head) didn't travel with the Ducks to Detroit for Game 6. It will be the third game Lydman's missed since being hit by Detroit's Justin Abdelkader. "He hasn't skated since he got hit," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Whether it'd be today or Sunday, I've got to believe it'd be hard for him to get back in the lineup." There's no timetable for his return.

Toni Lydman is considered doubtful for Monday's game in Detroit due to a migraine and neck soreness. Lydman was injured when Detroit's Justin Abdelkader hit him on Saturday, a hit that got Abdelkader a two game suspension by the NHL. Lydman did not practice on Sunday and it would seem that he could be out for at least the remainder of the series. "At this stage, it's hard to tell," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Toni has headaches and he's got a stiff neck. Bright lights are bugging him. So I don't know when that's not going to be there." Reserve him for now, if you can.

Toni Lydman suffered a head injury when he was hit by the Red Wings Justin Abdelkader Saturday. Abdulkader picked up a five minute major for charging and a game misconduct and will definitely be on the carpet for a suspension by the NHL. Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said that "he's got a good headache" and did not expect Lydman to practice on Sunday. We don't want to say the dreaded 'c' word but it sure looks like Lydman has a concussion. Stay tuned.

Toni Lydman will be on Anaheim's blueline in Game 1 versus Detroit Tuesday night. Luca Sbisa is still sidelined with a lower-body injury and won't play. Lydman plays a hard-nosed style, where hits and blocked shots are at a premium, but he doesn't get many points.
