Gormley was brought in from New Jersey in exchange for future considerations Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gormley will report to AHL Binghamton where he will have to stay this season as he is ineligible to be called up since this trade occurred post-deadline. In the minors this year, the blueliner has managed two goals, eight helpers, and 30 PIM in 35 contests, but failed to get promoted to the NHL during the 2016-17 campaign.

Gormley signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gormley appeared in 26 games with the Avalanche last season, notching a single assist with a minus-3 rating over that span. The 24-year-old blueliner spent the majority of the 2015-16 campaign with AHL San Antonio, but wasn't much better in the minors, tallying six points (four goals, two assists) with an awful minus-19 rating over 39 games. The left-handed defenseman will compete for a bottom-pairing role with the Devils in September's training camp.

Gormley was not given a qualifying offer by the Avalanche on Monday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gormley becomes an unrestricted free agent since he was not tendered a qualifying offer by Monday's deadline. The 24-year-old defenseman has been a big disappointment since the Coyotes made him the 13th overall selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. In 58 career games, he's posted only five points and a minus-6 rating between the 'Yotes and Avs.

Gormley was reassigned to AHL San Antonio on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gormley hasn't played particularly well for the Avs this season, notching a single assist to go with a minus-3 rating in 26 games, which is why the 23-year-old blueliner was waived by the team Thursday. The former first-round pick will hope to gain some confidence during his time in the AHL.

Gormley has been waived by the Avalanche, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gormley failed to make any kind of impact offensively for the Avs, having notched just one assist for his only point in 26 games this season. If he clears waivers, the defenseman could wind up in the minors and remain property of Colorado and its minor-league affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage.

The Coyotes traded Gormley to the Avalanche on Wednesday in exchange for Stefan Elliott, Drew Spevak of ESPN Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gormley appeared in just 32 games for the Coyotes after being taken 13th overall in 2010, and the club ultimately decided to give him a chance to earn playing time at the top level elsewhere.

Gormley has been tendered a qualifying offer by the Coyotes, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. Thus it's fairly well assured that Gormley will spend next season in Arizona. It could be the first full NHL campaign for the No. 13 pick in the 2010 draft, who picked up four points to go with a minus-7 rating while seeing limited ice time in 27 games for the Coyotes last year.

The Coyotes assigned Gormley to AHL Portland on Sunday. Gormley, who has notched four points and 10 PIM in 27 games with the Coyotes this season, returns to Portland, where the blueliner (who was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft) has recorded seven points in 16 AHL contests to date.

Gormley picked up an assist in Thursday's loss to the Avalanche. The 2010 first-round pick hasn't found much success in his 29 career NHL games, mustering only two goals and four points. He's been in the lineup the last two games for the Coyotes and could continue to hold down a regular role the rest of the way for the big club, but don't count on him to deliver much scoring until a couple years down the road.

Gormley was recalled from AHL Portland on Thursday.Gormley looks on tap to serve as the Coyotes' seventh defenseman for Friday's game against the Sharks, replacing Chris Summers, who was sent back to Portland in a corresponding move. The Coyotes likely didn't recall the 22-year-old Gormley only to let him sit during his entire stay with the club, so there would seem to be a decent odds that if he doesn't play Friday, he'll enter the lineup Saturday against the Rangers. Gormley has recorded two goals and an assist over 15 games with the Coyotes on the season.
