Spooner agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Lugano (Switzerland) on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner played in 52 games for New York, Edmonton and Vancouver last season, in which he tallied three goals, six helpers and 67 shots. After failing to impress with the Canucks, the 27-year-old was bought out and now will head overseas for the upcoming season.

The Canucks placed Spooner on waivers Saturday with the intention of buying out the remainder of his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner was never able to build off of a promising 2015-16 campaign, turning in one of his worst to date last season with just nine points over 52 games with three different teams. Assuming he goes unclaimed, Spooner will hit free agency looking for another chance to revive his career elsewhere.

Spooner (undisclosed) pumped five shots on goal and added three hits in 13:59 in a 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner missed 11 games with the injury. He remains at eight points in 48 in games this season, which would stand as the lowest total in a full season in his career.

Spooner will return to the Canucks lineup ahead of Thursday's game versus Los Angeles, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner hasn't appeared in the Canucks past 11 outings. At first he was out with an injury (undisclosed), then became a healthy scratch. He enters the lineup in place of Sven Baertschi. Spooner has played six contests for Vancouver, posting three assists in the process.

Spooner (undisclosed) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against Columbus, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner has not played since Mar. 3 and will be absent again Sunday, though it appears, considering the "scratch" designation, that whatever injury was keeping from playing is now behind him. He'll now have to work his way back into the lineup, with his next chance to do some coming Tuesday against the Ducks.

Spooner disclosed to Colin Stephenson of Newsday on Thursday that he's aiming to return to the lineup by the end of next week.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner's timetable was rather open-ended, but he has put a target date on the map. After weak showings with both the Rangers (two points in 16 games) and Oilers (three points in 25 games), Spooner may have finally found a home with the Canucks. Through six games with his new club, Spooner has racked up three assists. He remains under contract for the remainder of the year and next season and should get ample opportunity to prove his worth on a Vancouver squad that has fallen out of the playoff picture.

Spooner (undisclosed) won't play Thursday against the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner's absence will continue to test Vancouver's depth up front, but it will almost certainly go unnoticed in most fantasy circles, as he's only totaled eight points in 47 games this campaign. The Canucks have yet to release any details regarding a potential timetable for the veteran forward's return to game action, but another update on his status will undoubtedly surface once he's given the green light to rejoin the lineup.

Spooner (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner's absence will test the Canucks' depth up front, but it won't impact any fantasy lineups, as he's only tallied eight points in 47 contests this campaign. The 26-year-old will be reevaluated ahead of Thursday's matchup with Edmonton.

Spooner is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is questionable against Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner remains bogged down in an 18-game goal drought that extends back to his time with the Oilers, but has managed to tally three helpers in six games with the Canucks. The Ottawa native is enjoying significantly more play time with Vancouver (12:33 compared to 9:40 in Edmonton), which likely explains his offensive uptick. If Spooner is unable to give it a go, Tyler Motte figures to slot into the lineup, while Tanner Pearson could get bumped up to the top line with Bo Horvat.

Spooner collected an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Spooner's assisted in back-to-back games, as he's starting to build cohesion with his third team of the 2018-19 campaign. He's best served in a bottom-six role, but the power-play minutes are there, even though he hasn't converted in that spot this season. Temper your expectations for Spooner, but know that he can help in small doses.
