Paille was one of seven players that were recalled from AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Following the conclusion of Hartford's season, the Rangers made this mass recall to provide additional depth in the postseason. In addition to Paille, the recent recalls consist of Mat Bodie, Chris Brown, Ryan Graves, Nicklas Jensen, Jayson Megna, and Chris Summers. Barring a multitude of injuries to the Rangers' lineup, none of these players are likely to participate in postseason hockey.

Paille cleared waivers and was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Paille experiment lasted all of 12 games for the Rangers. The 2011 Stanley Cup winner will head back to the minors after failing to record a point with the Rangers. In 31 games for the Chicago's AHL affiliate earlier this season, Paille scored one goal and three assists.

The Rangers waived Paille on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Paille was unable to carve out a meaningful role with the Rangers since signing with the team on Jan. 21, failing to register a single point in the 12 games he's suited up for since that date. The 31-year-old winger will likely pass through waivers unclaimed, at which point he will probably be assigned to the Rangers' AHL affiliate.

Paille was minus-1 with two shots on goal in a loss to Ottawa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Not a lot to report here as the former first round draft pick (Buffalo, 2002) logged just over 11 minutes of total ice time, a reduction from the 15 minutes he registered in his Rangers on Friday against Carolina. Still, head coach Alain Vigneault was none-too-pleased with his team's performance and is not shy about shaking up his lines to send a message. All things considered, the veteran forward is not likely to ever repeat his career best campaign 35 points in 77 games in his sophomore season (2007-08) with Buffalo.

Paille signed with the Rangers on Thursday, Sean Harnett of WFAN 660 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paille was on a professional tryout with the Blackhawks, but was let go before the start of the season. In the AHL, the winger has logged one goal and three assists in 31 contests. The 31-year-old played for the Bruins during the 2014-15 campaign, registering 13 points in 71 games.

Paille was released from his PTO with the Blackhawks on Monday, James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks are pretty deep at forward, so Paille was always considered a bit of a long shot to crack the 23-man roster. He may, however, draw interest from NHL clubs looking to add some veteran depth to their bottom-six forward group. The 31-year-old winger tallied 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in 71 games with the Bruins last season.

Paille signed a professional tryout contract with the Blackhawks on Sunday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Paille attracted limited interest after scoring only six goals and 13 points in 71 games as a fourth-line player on the Bruins last season. He'll audition for a similar role on the Blackhawks' energy line during training camp, but with several options on hand for the club, cracking the 23-man roster may prove difficult.

The Bruins don't plan to re-sign Paille, csnne.com reports. Paille, who finished the 2014-15 season with six goals and seven assists to go along with a minus-9 rating in 71 games for the Bruins, is thus on the way out, as well as frequent linemate Gregory Campbell, which ensures that the Bruins will have a new-look fourth line next season.

Paille was a healthy scratch for the Bruins' final nine games of the 2014-15 season, the Boston Herald reports. Paille, who finished the season with six goals and seven assists in 71 games, is slated to hit free agency this offseason, and while his wheels and penalty-killing ability have helped the B's in the past, there's a solid chance he'll be playing elsewhere next season.

Paille was a healthy scratch Sunday against the Hurricanes. With David Krejci back in the B's lineup, Paille has been the odd man out up front of late, and it might take another injury to a forward to get Paille back into the mix.
