Vatanen agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Swiss club Geneve-Servette on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vatanen split last season between New Jersey and Dallas after being claimed off waivers by the Stars in April. In total, the 30-year-old blueliner appeared in 39 games in which he tallied just six points. Given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players should be impacted by his move away from the NHL.

Vatanen (upper body) had two shots and one block in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Vatanen missed Thursday's tilt with the Red Wings but returned to log 13:41 of ice time on the back end, all of it at even strength. The 29-year-old, who is looking for his first point with Dallas, has two goals and four assists in 36 games overall this season between the Stars and Devils.

Vatanen (upper body) will be available for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point it isn't clear if Vatanen will be in the lineup against Detroit, but he'll be available if needed. The 29-year-old blueliner has tallied six points through 30 games this campaign.

Vatanen (upper body) won't suit up in Thursday's game against Detroit, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the Finn will miss his first game since Feb. 16. Vatanen has had a decent season to this point, supplying six points and 37 blocks across 17:14 of average ice time. Vatanen's next chance to suit up is in Saturday's game against Detroit, and he'll be replaced by Joel Hanley in the lineup Thursday.

The Stars claimed Vatanen off waivers from the Devils on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vatanen recorded six points through 30 games with the Devils this season, and he'll get a fresh start with the Stars. It's an interesting pickup by the Stars, as they're on the outside looking in at a playoff spot, though there's little risk because of Vatanen's reasonable one-year, $2 million contract. Vatanen could make his Stars debut as early as Tuesday versus the Panthers.

Vatanen recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Vatanen was waived Sunday morning, but he stayed in the lineup. The assist was just his sixth points in 30 contests this year as he's struggled through one of his worst scoring campaigns. The Finn has added 37 blocked shots, 41 shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 2020-21. It'll be known Monday if Vatanen cleared waivers or if he's been claimed by another team.

Vatanen was placed on waivers by the Devils on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vatanen has played in 29 straight games for the Devils. The 29-year-old has recorded five points and 36 blocked shots this year. He's under contract at a $2 million cap hit, so he could be claimed on waivers by a team needing blue-line depth ahead of the playoffs.

Vatanen had one shot, one block and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey's third paring of Vatanen and Ryan Murray submitted a strong two-way performance, but this is about the best you can expect from Vatanen at this point in his career. He reached the 37-point mark twice with Anaheim but has only five points in 24 games with season.

Vatanen had an assist and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Vatanen scored his first point of the season on a fluky assist, as his pass went all the way down the ice and bounced off the end boards onto the stick of Jack Hughes, who deposited it into the net for the game's first goal. The 29-year-old Finn has topped the 35-point mark twice, but the last time he did so was in 2015-16 with Anaheim, and injuries seem to have sapped much of his offensive effectiveness since then.

Vatanen is expected to make his season debut Thursday against the Bruins, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vatanen has yet to play this season due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols, so he'll likely have some rust to shake off against the Bruins. The 29-year-old blueliner picked up 23 points in 47 games last campaign.
