The Bruins released Fayne from his professional tryout agreement Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Bruins are pretty well set at defense, so Fayne was never a serious contender for a spot on their Opening Night roster. The 31-year-old American may opt to head overseas to continue his professional career if he doesn't draw interest from another NHL club ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

Fayne has signed a PTO with the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Fayne was waived by the Oilers ahead of last season and ultimately appeared in just six games for AHL Bakersfield. The 31-year-old defenseman has proven to be a solid shot-blocking presence in the right situation, but long gone are his days flirting with 20 minutes per game. He must first land an actual in-season contract before we can determine what he's worth in fantasy games (if anything at all).

Fayne was placed on waivers Sunday, with Edmonton intending to reassign him to AHL Bakersfield should he go unclaimed.
EDGE Analysis
Having spent nearly the entirety of 2016-17 in the minors, Fayne's fight to make Edmonton's Opening Night roster made it to October, but his $3.625 million cap hit ultimately proved to be too large of an obstacle to overcome. Fayne is a solid, stay-at-home defender, but doesn't fit Edmonton's system and is unlikely to see NHL ice until his current deal expires upon the conclusion of the 2017-18 campaign.

Fayne (undisclosed) has been activated from injured reserve and assigned to AHL Bakersfield.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a long, injury-plagued season for Fayne, who has managed to see the ice on only four occasions this season, two of which were cut short by assorted ailments. The New Hampshire native is presumably going to the minors for conditioning, but there's really no telling when he will be recalled.

Fayne (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
We feel for Fayne, as he missed 21 games with an undisclosed ailment before finally returning Saturday. It's unclear if this is a related setback, but at any rate, the Oilers have recalled David Musil as a reinforcement on the blue line.

Fayne exited Tuesday's game against the Sabres with an undisclosed injury and will not return, Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when or how Fayne sustained the ailment but given he won't return to the road contest, his availability for the Oilers' next matchup with the Flyers on Thursday is questionable. The 29-year-old blueliner has never produced more than 20 points in an NHL season so even when healthy, he's not the best option in fantasy formats.

Fayne was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fayne gets the call with fellow defenseman Eric Gryba going on injured reserve with an undisclosed ailment. The former had been waived only two days ago, but stayed within the Oilers organization upon clearing. Fayne has failed to clear the 20-point mark in six NHL campaigns the Devils, and he's skated to a minus-19 rating over his career, so you can safely pass over him in the majority of fantasy formats.

Fayne (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Per NHL rules, in order to be waived, Fayne must have been cleared from whatever ailment saw him placed on injured reserve. Given the emergence of other players on the blue line, it shouldn't be overly surprising that the Oilers waived the 29-year-old. Assuming he goes unclaimed, the defenseman will likely be reassigned to the minors.

Fayne (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the Oilers promoted Ben Betker from AHL Bakersfield. Even when healthy, Fayne is more of a shutdown type, and not someone who will turn heads in the fantasy realm.

Fayne left Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes with an undisclosed injury and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear what the severity of the ailment is at this point but given he's headed to the locker room for the rest of the game, it could be something more than day-to-day. The Oilers will likely have a status report on the blueliners health in the coming days.
