Oleksy has signed a contract in the Austrian league, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old defenseman last appeared in an NHL game with the Penguins in the 2016-17 season. He's been bouncing around the minor leagues in North America, but now he'll take his game overseas. It's highly likely Oleksy will play out his career in Europe.

Oleksy was traded to the Maple Leafs for winger Adam Cracknell on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Neither player has an NHL appearance this season. Oleksy -- who has 73 career NHL games under his belt at age 32 -- will serve as organizational depth on the blue line for his new club.

Oleksy was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He didn't get to draw into an NHL game upon his call-up Thursday, but Oleksy is a career organizational tweener and we can definitely see him getting called back up when injuries strike the parent club.

The Ducks recalled Oleksy from AHL San Diego on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kevin Bieksa is out indefinitely with a hand injury, so Oleksy will round out the Ducks' depth at defense until Bieksa is cleared to return. The veteran blueliner has enjoyed a hot start to the campaign in the minors, racking up two goals and two assists in five games.

Oleksy was waived by the Ducks on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksy joined Anaheim on a one-year deal in the offseason after suiting up in just 11 games last year with the Penguins. Considering the Ducks will be without Hampus Lindholm (shoulder) and Sami Vatanen (shoulder) for the first month of the season, the 31-year-old Oleksy likely believed he had a shot at earning a spot on the 23-man roster. Instead, the Michigan native will head to AHL San Diego -- assuming he clears waivers.

Oleksy signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Ducks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The rearguard played in just 30 professional games last year, 11 of which came in the NHL with Pittsburgh (one assist, 24 PIM, 20 hits). With 20 points in 73 career NHL contests since 2012-13, Oleksy doesn't figure to see the Ducks' dressing room with any regularity anytime soon, and he'll more than likely report to AHL San Diego come September.

Oleksy was dealt to the Leafs along with Eric Fehr and a fourth-rounder at Wednesday's trade deadline, with Frank Corrado coming back to the Penguins, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports.
EDGE Analysis
A little-used piece of the Penguins' blue line, he'll likely now become a little-used piece of the Leafs' blue line. There's nothing to see here for fantasy purposes.

Oleksy was recalled from the minors Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Injuries to Olli Maatta (hand) and Justin Schultz (undisclosed) have created a void on the Pens' blue line. In order to plug the gap, Oleksy was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton along with Cameron Gaunce. It is unclear who might slot into the lineup for Friday's matchup with Columbus, but Oleksy is probably the favorite considering he has the most NHL experience.

Oleksy was placed on waivers Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oleksy going on waivers may be an indication that Kris Letang (knee) is ready to return against the Bruins on Thursday. The 30-year-old Oleksy has been a healthy scratch for the Pens' previous six contests, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the team is looking to move him back down to the minors. If Oleksy goes unclaimed off the wire, he will likely be reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Oleksy drew a fighting major for the second time in as many games Friday.
EDGE Analysis
He skated on the right side of a third pair with Ian Cole. Coach Mike Sullivan called Oleksy a "great character guy" following Friday's contest. He saw a team-low 21 defensive shifts, but fantasy owners desperate for penalty minutes might consider the former Capitals player.
