Grant signed a new two-year contract with Helsinki Jokerit (KHL) on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Grant racked up 13 goals and 23 helpers in 57 games for the Jokerit last season. Selected by the Penguins in the fourth round of the 2007 NHL Draft, the 30-year-old saw action in just seven NHL games with Anaheim and Arizona, with the most recent coming during the 2015-16 campaign. If his strong showing last season didn't earn him a look from an NHL club, the blueliner is unlikely to make his way back into the league at this point and figures to close out his career overseas.

Grant inked a one-year deal with Helsinki Jokerit (KHL) on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Grant's lone call-up came as part of the Wild's Black Aces, as he spent the year in the minors with AHL Iowa. A product of the QMJHL, the 29-year-old has made just seven NHL appearances (with Anaheim and Arizona) after being taking in the fourth round of the 2007 NHL Draft by Pittsburgh. The defender would likely need to have an outstanding campaign with Jokerit in order to earn another NHL deal in the future.

Minnesota waived Grant on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old blueliner has only appeared in seven NHL contests since he was drafted in the fourth round by the Penguins in 2007, so the chances of him ever holding a regular spot in an NHL club's lineup are virtually nonexistent. He'll likely spend the entirety of the 2017-18 campaign in the minors.

Grant inked a one-year, two-way deal with Minnesota on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Grant was selected in the fourth round of the 2007 NHL Draft by Pittsburgh, but failed to suit up for the Penguins. The blueliner has seven NHL games under his belt -- with Anaheim and Arizona -- but spent all of 2016-17 with AHL Providence. While in the minors last year, the 28-year-old recorded 17 goals and 32 helpers on his way to a career-high 49 points. Fantasy owners in deeper leagues may want to give the Nova Scotia native a look as he could compete for a spot in the lineup sooner rather than later.

Grant signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Bruins on Monday, Kevin Chambers of Station Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grant spent the majority of last season with AHL Springfield, but he did make five appearances for the Coyotes, averaging 13:14 of ice time. He'll likely be a fringe player yet again this coming season with the Bruins.

Grant was sent to AHL Springfield on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Grant will be accompanied by Laurent Dauphin, Eric Selleck, and Marek Langhamer since Springfield still has three regular season games remaining on their schedule, thus giving this group more time to hone their craft.

Grant was recalled by the Coyotes on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Grant has yet to suit up for Arizona this season, but could slot into the depth chart with Michael Stone (knee) suffering a season ending injury. In 66 AHL contests this season, the defenseman has tallied 11 goals and 29 helpers in addition to 51 PIM.

Grant signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Coyotes on Thursday. Grant played with the Binghamton Senators of the AHL last season, finishing with six goals and 27 assists over 58 games. The 26-year-old will now spend the majority of his time with the Coyotes affiliate, the Portland Pirates, where he'll serve as depth for their defense.

The Anaheim Ducks have traded Alex Grant to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Andre Petersson. Grant has seven goals and 27 points in 52 AHL games. The 25-year-old defenseman was originally taken in the fourth round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Alex Grant has been returned to the minors. He has two goals in two games with the Ducks this year to go with a plus-3 rating and 12:10 of average ice time.
