The Kings assigned Bouma to AHL Ontario's training camp Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma, who was attending L.A.'s training camp on a professional tryout agreement, failed to earn a deal with a big club, so he'll now set his sights on securing an AHL-only contract. The veteran forward will have zero fantasy value in 2019-20.

Bouma signed a professional tryout agreement with the Kings on Sunday, Rick Dhaliwal of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma spent the 2018-19 campaign overseas with Swiss club Geneve-Servette, but was limited to a mere three games. The center will try to make a go of it with Los Angeles during training camp, though he may be hard pressed to secure a spot in the lineup ahead of Adrian Kempe or Michael Amadio.

Bouma inked a one-year deal with Geneve-Servette (NLA) on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma spent the end of the 2017-18 campaign with AHL Rockford after going unclaimed off waivers. Considering no NHL team was willing to take a look at him in February, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him bound for Europe. If the winger is unable to earn his was back to the NHL, he will finish his career with 30 goals and 46 assists in 357 outings.

Bouma was waived by the Blackhawks on Sunday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Expect to see a ton of waiver transactions ahead of Monday's trade deadline, as NHL general managers crunch the numbers and make the pieces fit. Bouma has been waiver fodder in fantasy leagues as the owner of nine points through 53 games.

Bouma has been a healthy scratch for the Blackhawks' last three games.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old forward was in the lineup for the first 46 games of the season, notching three goals and eight points over that span, but coach Joel Quenneville has decided to give Tomas Jurco an opportunity to earn a regular spot in the lineup recently, making Bouma the odd man out. Either way, the 2008 third-round pick doesn't produce enough offense to be considered a viable option in season-long formats, even when he's locked into a bottom-six role.

Bouma picked up an assist in Thursday's 5-1 drubbing of the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma found a wide open Tommy Wingels at the top of the circle to give the Hawks a two-goal lead early in the first period. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the center only added one shot on goal and a plus-1 rating the rest of the game. Considering he tallied less than 10 points in each of the previous two seasons, the 27-year-old's 34-point, 2014-15 campaign seems to have been a fluke.

Bouma notched an assist and a shot on goal in a 7-5 loss to the Devils on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma has two assists in his last three games, and four helpers overall. However, he's also averaged 9:40 per game in ice time, and that's simply not going to cut it from a fantasy perspective.

Bouma scored his first goal with the Blackhawks and added a helper in Saturday's win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma is currently skating on the fourth line and doesn't offer much from a fantasy perspective. The 27-year-old did have a 34-point season back in his Calgary days, but his offensive production really fell off in the following years. Chicago's top lines can't always carry the offense, so it's good to see a guy like Bouma deliver in the third with the game-winning goal. Don't expect much from the former Flame aside from the rare point contribution every now and then.

Bouma signed a one-year deal with the Blackhawks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma was definitely headed for a pay cut after the Flames bought out the last year of his contract that was scheduled to cost them $2.2 million. Instead the Hawks get the 27-year-old for just a $1 million cap hit according to CapFriendly.com. Despite playing in 61 contests for Calgary, the center notched a mere seven points, 35 PIM, and 53 shots on goal. A lock for a bottom-six role with Chicago, the Alberta native is unlikely to put up anything like his 2014-15 numbers in which he tallied 34 points.

The Flames bought out the final year of Bouma's three-year, $6.6 million contract Friday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouma hasn't lived up to the three-year deal he signed with Calgary prior to the 2015-16 campaign, as he's only managed to tally a dismal 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 105 games over that span. The 27-year-old forward will be free to sign with a new club as an unrestricted free agent, but it remains to be seen if he'll draw any interest from NHL teams after logging back-to-back seven-point seasons.
