Moore will not be in training camp due to a lingering undisclosed injury, the team announced Wednesday. Additionally, the blueliner was designated for injured reserve according to the team's training camp roster.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was part of the failed Evgenii Dadonov trade last season but was never asked to move to Anaheim as part of his previous trade deal. Over the last two years, the veteran has logged a combined 12 contests in which he notched a meager three assists, 15 assists and 11 blocks. With Moore entering the final year of his contract, this could be the end of his NHL career if he isn't able to recover from this undisclosed injury.

The trade that sent Moore and Ryan Kesler from Anaheim to Vegas in exchange for Evgenii Dadonov and a second-round draft pick Monday has been retroactively invalidated.
EDGE Analysis
This news significantly affects only Dadonov, as Moore was expected to report to AHL Henderson and will almost certainly report to AHL San Diego now that he's back with the Ducks.

Anaheim traded Moore and Ryan Kesler (hip) to Vegas in exchange for Evgenii Dadonov and a second-round draft pick Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was sent from Boston to Anaheim in the recent Hampus Lindholm deal and now he's heading to Vegas. The 31-year-old blueliner will likely join AHL Henderson but could be used as an injury replacement by the big club at some point this season.

The Bruins traded Moore, Urho Vaakanainen (undisclosed) and three draft picks to Anaheim in exchange for Hampus Lindholm and Kodie Curran on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore has appeared in just 12 NHL games over the last two seasons and he still has one year left on his $2.75 million AAV deal. The 31-year-old blueliner will likely fill a similar depth role with the Ducks. He has one point and 11 blocked shots in seven games with Boston this season.

Moore (upper body) was sent down to AHL Providence on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was on injured reserve, but his assignment to the minor league suggests he is now healthy. The Bruins will likely want the 31-year-old to get some playing time in with Providence before he factors in at the NHL level again.

Moore (upper body) will not travel with the team for Wednesday's game in Colorado, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Moore won't travel, Ryan adds. The next three games on Boston's schedule are road games beginning with Colorado on Wednesday. The next home game on the schedule for the Bruins is Feb. 1 against Seattle. Moore has already exceeded the minimum timeframe of absence required by his placement on injured reserve so he can join the team whenever healthy. The 31-year-old has averaged 17:34 of ice time and recorded one assist over seven appearances this season.

Moore (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Moore has already missed five games, so he'll be eligible to return whenever he's healthy. The Bruins have not provided a recovery timeline for the 31-year-old blueliner.

Moore (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Capitals, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moore will miss a fourth straight game, and a timeline for his return has yet to be announced. The 31-year-old's absence should be considered indefinite until he returns to practice in some capacity.

Moore (upper body) will not make an appearance in Thursday's game against Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Moore suffered an upper-body injury in the contest against Montreal on Jan. 12. Tyler Lewington was elevated Thursday to round out the Bruins' blue-line corps until the 31-year-old Moore is ready to return. Moore has averaged 17:34 of ice time and has recorded one point over seven appearances in 2021-22.

Moore (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was hurt on a hit in the second period that immediately sent him to the locker room. With Derek Forbort and Connor Clifton both in the COVID-19 protocols, losing Moore for any amount of time leaves the Bruins thin on the blue line. He'll be evaluated, but he's likely questionable at best for Thursday's game versus the Flyers.
