Farnham secured a one-year contract with the Belfast Giants (EIHL) on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Farnham hasn't played in an NHL contest since the 2016-17 campaign, when he logged three games for the Habs. After two years in the minors with AHL Springfield, the Boston University product will get his first taste of European hockey. This move all but closes the door on the winger's time in the NHL and figures to see him eventually retire with eight goals and two helpers in 67 games for the Penguins, Devils and Canadiens.

The Rangers released Farnham from his professional tryout agreement Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Farnham was never considered a serious contender to land a spot on New York's Opening Night roster, so this move doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 28-year-old forward spent most of the 2016-17 campaign in the minors, notching 28 points in 71 games with Montreal's AHL affiliate. He'll likely need to seek a similar role with a new club in order to keep playing in North America this season.

Farnham will attend Rangers' camp on a professional tryout agreement, Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farnham logged 71 outings for AHL St. John's last season in which he tallied 11 goals, 17 helpers and 137 PIM. For his career, the winger has appeared in 67 NHL contests, but has just 10 points to show for -- no doubt the reason he has been unable to secure a permanent contract. If he does stick in the Big Apple, it will likely be in a 12th or 13th forward role and could be watching from the press box on a semi-regular basis.

Farnham was designated for the minors Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Farnham and prospect Nikita Scherbak were both handed tickets to the AHL on the eve of a home game against the Rangers. There's speculation that established forward Alex Galchenyuk is nearing his return from a knee injury, which likely explains the transactions for the aforementioned skaters. Farnham's been associated with three different NHL clubs since debuting with the Penguins in 2014-15, and consequently, it's been quite an adjustment for the depth winger.

Farnham was in the active lineup Wednesday, registering two shots on goal and four hits in Montreal's 4-3 overtime win in Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Farnham was making his season debut after being called up over the weekend from AHL St. John's. He skated strictly on the fourth line, replacing Chris Terry. With two more injuries at the forward position -- both Brendan Gallagher (hand) and Paul Byron (upper body) left Wednesday's game -- Farnham and Terry should stick around for a bit.

Farnham has been recalled from AHL St. John's, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

As the Canadiens continue to deal with multiple injuries, they have elected to bring up Farnham to replace Sven Andrighetto in the offensive corps after the latter was reassigned to the minors Saturday. Farnham isn't much of a scorer as his nine points in 31 games with the IceCaps might suggest, but he does bring an excellent enforcing presence with him, as he's managed to rack up a whopping 58 penalty minutes this season.

Farnham was assigned to the Canadiens' AHL affiliate after training camp Sunday, TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a bit of a surprise for a player that played 53 games last year for Pittsburgh and New Jersey. He wasn't a major contributor even when playing in the NHL, so now that he is starting the season in the minors his fantasy value is even lower.

Farnham agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way deal with Montreal on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Farnham is the type of gritty player that every team loves to have but hates to play against. In 50 games with the Devils last season, the winger registered 92 PIM and 83 hits, but offers limited value outside of those categories.

Farnham (suspension) will return to the Devils' lineup Saturday against the Jets, Tom Gulitti of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farnham will slot back into the lineup as a bottom-six forward Saturday against Winnipeg. The 27-year-old winger has notched eight points (seven goals, one assist) in 24 games with the Devils this season.

Farnham was handed a four-game suspension for interference on St. Louis' Dmitrij Jaskin in Tuesday's game against the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

The suspension doesn't come as a huge surprise, as Farnham violently leveled Jaskin out of frustration behind the play, using his arms to deliver the blow up high. The penalty likely could have been even worse, but Farnham doesn't have a history of dirty play, and Jaskin didn't sustain an injury. Farnham will be eligible to return to action on Jan. 23 against Winnipeg.
