Bigras was placed on waivers Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bigras is expected to report to AHL Lehigh Valley should he clear the waiver wire. The 25-year-old defenseman posted two goals and 16 points in 39 games with the Phantoms during the 2019-20 season.

Bigras signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Flyers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers opted not to tender Bigras a qualifying offer as a restricted free agent, so he hit the open market and now latches on with the Flyers. Colorado took him in the second round (32nd overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, but it's clear that the shipped has sailed on his prospect status. In fact, Bigras has only accumulated a goal and three helpers over 46 NHL contests, and the Rangers didn't use him at all at the top level when they signed him to a one-year deal last July.

Bigras didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bigras was a steady producer from the blue line for AHL Hartford last season, notching 22 points in 52 games, so although his time with the Rangers has likely come to an end, he should be able to land a two-way deal with another organization with relative ease this offseason.

Bigras was designated for waivers by New York on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bigras was a near lock to be sent down to the minors at some point during training camp; however, the fact that he lasted this long bodes well for his chances of earning a call-up at some point this season.

Bigras accepted his qualifying offer for the 2018-19 season.
EDGE Analysis
After being acquired from the Avalanche last season, Bigras spent the rest of the year with AHL Hartford, scoring two goals and 13 points in 18 games. There's no guarantee he'll have an NHL roster spot for the 2018-19 campaign and can be ignored in nearly all fantasy formats.

Bigras has received a qualifying offer from the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Bigras was one of 10 Rangers to receive a qualifying offer. The 23-year-old blueliner has made 46 career NHL appearances with the Avalanche, but he'll be looking for his first action on Broadway in 2018-19.

Bigras was acquired from Colorado in exchange for Ryan Graves on Monday, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A second-round pick in 2013, Bigras has thus far suited up for 46 NHL games in his career, including 15 for Colorado this season. That said, Bigras has been in the minors since late November and will continue his season with the Rangers' AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolfpack. The Canadian blueliner will be hoping that a change of scenery can provide him a better chance to establish himself in an NHL lineup.

Bigras was reassigned to AHL San Antonio on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Bigras was a healthy scratch in three of the Avs' last five games and hasn't registered a point since Opening Night, it shouldn't come as a surprise the team opted to demote him. With Anton Lindholm (jaw) healthy, the 22-year-old Bigras will likely spend the bulk of the season with the Rampage developing his game.

Bigras has not registered a point since his Opening Night assist against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to his 13-game pointless streak, Bigras has also served as a healthy scratch on another five occasions. Despite an outstanding OHL career -- which includes a 20-goal, 51-helpers campaign in 2014-15 -- the 22-year-old has failed to translate his game to the NHL level. With his offensive contributions limited and his role clearly in doubt, it seems unlikely the defenseman will offer anything more than bottom-end value in only the deepest of formats.

Bigras has averaged just 13:39 of ice time per contest through the first six games of the season.
EDGE Analysis
The 2013 second-round pick plays a low-risk game and will probably remain a depth defenseman for the Avalanche throughout the 2017-18 campaign. While Bigras posted huge offensive numbers in the OHL, his scoring hasn't translated to the professional ranks, and he also doesn't move the needle in any peripheral categories. There's a decent chance he develops into a serviceable NHL player, but it's unlikely he ever makes a significant fantasy impact.
