Keeper signed a one-year, two-way contract with Montreal on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Keeper posed one goal, five assists and 35 PIM in 35 appearances with AHL Abbotsford last season. The 27-year-old defender has appeared in just two career NHL contests. Keeper will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors.

Keeper was waived by the Canucks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Keeper has only appeared in two NHL contests since 2018-19, so he was never expected to make Vancouver's Opening Night roster. Assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed, he'll be assigned to AHL Abbotsford.

Keeper (leg) practiced Thursday, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keeper missed the entirety of the 2021-22 campaign with a broken leg, but it looks like he's made a full recovery in time for training camp. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old defender will likely spend most, if not all of the 2022-23 season in the minors.

Keeper (leg) was moved to long-term injured reserve Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keeper is already expected to miss a good chunk of the 2021-22 campaign after breaking his leg in camp. This is a cap-space move for Vancouver and will not affect his timetable to return.

Keeper, as suspected, suffered a broken leg in training camp and will be out indefinitely, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.
EDGE Analysis
Keeper was far from a lock to make the Opening Night roster but a strong showing in training camp could have forced the issue. Instead, the 25-year-old blueliner may have to wait until next season to get a shot at an NHL game and figures to spend the early part of the year on long-term injured reserve.

Keeper was taken off the ice on a stretcher Saturday during training camp after suffering a leg injury, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of the injury is unclear at this time, but it seems the 25-year-old could be in for an extended absence. Keeper has appeared in two NHL games in his career but has recorded 21 points through 72 AHL contests with Springfield and Syracuse.

Keeper has signed a two-year contract with the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Keeper made a pair of appearances with the Panthers between 2018-19 and 2020-21 but hasn't played more than a game in a season at the top level. The Manitoba native moves much closer to home and will seek to impress should he get an invite to training camp.
