The Rangers put Bonino on unconditional waivers Tuesday for the purpose of contract termination, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonino will become an unrestricted free agent once the process is complete. He produced one goal, four assists, 31 shots on net and 78 blocked shots in 45 appearances for New York this season. The 35-year-old forward was waived by the Rangers on Jan. 25 before being sent down to AHL Hartford.

Bonino was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Friday after passing through waivers. The veteran won't report to the Wolf Pack until after the NHL All-Star break, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonino had a planned family vacation during the upcoming break, so the Rangers have decided to honor that and allow him to wait until afterward to report to Hartford. The two-time Stanley Cup champion hasn't played in an AHL game since 2011-12 when he was with the Syracuse Crunch. While it's no doubt a tough pill to swallow for the 35-year-old, he should be atop the shortlist of potential call-ups should the need arise in New York.

The Rangers placed Bonino on waivers Thursday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
General manager Chris Drury met with Bonino on Thursday morning to notify the forward of the team's decision. The Rangers are not sure what Bonino's next move will be should he clear waivers. The 35-year-old has only a goal and four assists in 45 NHL games this season.

Per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today, Bonino (personal) will miss Friday's tilt versus Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Bonino has gone 14 games without a point -- the fourth-line center has a goal and five points in 45 games overall this year. With Bonino out, look for Jake Leschyshyn to get into the lineup against the Golden Knights after he was recalled from AHL Hartford on Wednesday.

Bonino (illness) took line rushes in warmups, indicating he'll play Saturday versus the Bruins, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bonino was considered a game-time decision after he was scratched Friday versus the Ducks. The 35-year-old should resume a middle-six role barring another late scratch. With Bonino expected back, Adam Edstrom figures to return to the press box.

Bonino (illness) is expected to be a game-time decision Saturday versus Boston, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.
EDGE Analysis
Bonino was a late scratch for Friday's 5-1 win over Anaheim. He has one goal, four points, five hits and 53 blocks in 27 appearances this season. If Bonino can't play Saturday, Adam Edstrom will probably remain in the lineup.

Bonino registered an assist against Dallas on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bonino finally got on the scoresheet after having been blanked for the opening 15 games of the campaign. During his slump, the veteran center managed a meager eight shots. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting the Connecticut native to suddenly start scoring with consistency any time soon.

Bonino will be a game-time decision Tuesday versus Calgary, but coach Peter Laviolette seems optimistic about his chances of playing, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.
EDGE Analysis
Bonino hasn't missed a game due to his illness, but he didn't participate in Monday's practice. The 35-year-old has two shots, a hit and 12 blocks over five contests, though he hasn't appeared on the scoresheet yet this season. Tyler Pitlick might draw into the lineup Tuesday if Bonino is unavailable.
