Gelinas was placed on unconditional waivers by Carolina on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming he clears waivers, Gelinas will be a free agent. The 30-year-old blueliner hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2016-17 campaign.

Gelinas signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gelinas could make as much as $750,000 if he can stick at the NHL level. That seems unlikely, though, as the veteran defenseman last played in the NHL back in 2016-17 with Colorado.

Gelinas signed a contract with Slovan Bratislava of the KHL on Thursday, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gelinas entered the NHL in 2009 as New Jersey's second-round (54th overall) draft choice. Despite the early selection, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound blueliner only recorded 14 goals and 41 assists over 189 career contests between the Devils and Avalanche.

Gelinas signed a one-year contract with the Laval Rocket, Montreal's AHL affiliate, Arpon Basu of The Athletic Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

A second-round pick in 2009, Gelinas showed a lot of promise early in his career with New Jersey, scoring seven goals and 29 points over the course of 60 contests in 2013-14. Since then, however, Gelinas has lost his way, scoring seven goals and 26 points in the 128 games since -- resulting in Colorado declining to tender him a qualifying offer following the conclusion of the 2016-17 campaign. Gelinas has a huge shot and has proven to be a power play weapon in the past, so it's certainly within the realm of possibility for him to earn another NHL contract.

Gelinas signed a professional tryout agreement with the Canadiens on Tuesday, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The depth defenseman was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Avalanche, so he became an unrestricted free agent July 1. However, even with a change of scenery, it would be an extremely deep reach to go out and get Gelinas for your virtual squad; between the Devils and Avalanche, he's provided only 14 goals and 41 assists over 189 career games at the NHL level.

Gelinas wasn't extended a qualifying offer from the Avalanche and will become an unrestricted free agent, Renaud Lavoie of the Montreal Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gelinas saw action in 27 games with the Avalanche during the 2016 campaign, notching one point, 32 hits and 16 blocked shots in limited playing time. He'll be free to negotiate with other teams once free agency opens at the start of July, but he's unlikely to find himself in a role that would turn him into a viable fantasy option.

The Avalanche assigned Gelinas to AHL San Antonio on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche waived Gelinas last Thursday, but decided to keep him with the big club after he went unclaimed. Tyson Barrie (lower body) has missed Colorado's last three games, but he appears to be nearing a return to game action, so the Avs are no longer in need of Gelinas' services as a seventh defenseman. The 25-year-old blueliner will likely remain in the minors unless Colorado is once again in need of reinforcements on the blue line later this season.

The Avalanche waived Gelinas on Thursday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

This move suggests Erik Johnson (leg) may be nearing a return to game action. The Avalanche may opt to keep Gelinas with the big club if he passes through waivers unclaimed, but with just one assist in 26 games this season, the blueliner remains safely off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Gelinas has just a lone assist in 23 contests this season.

EDGE Analysis

Often a healthy scratch, the rearguard has suited up for 10 of the Avs' last 13 games, but has failed to hit the scoresheet since Nov. 1 -- 20 games ago. With an average ice time of 11:35 and no redeeming statistical qualities, Gelinas is about as irrelevant as they come with regard to fantasy.

Gelinas is a healthy scratch Monday against Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

The rearguard suited up for the last four games but will again head to the pressbox after failing to record a point during that span. In fact, Gelinas has just a single assist in 17 games this season while averaging a paltry 12:17 of ice time for one of the league's worst teams, so it doesn't appear he'll be relevant for fantasy purposes anytime soon.
