Wagner signed a two-year, minor-league contract with AHL Springfield on Tuesday, Freelance reporter Irfaan Gaffar reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has reached the point in his career where he serves as a veteran leader at the minor league level. Still, the center is an 11-year NHL veteran, having played in 401 games while tallying 39 goals and 27 assists. If he puts up good numbers in the minors, perhaps the Blues will sign him to an NHL deal down the road.

Wagner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was called up by the Avalanche last week, and he made four appearances during his time with the NHL club. He recorded no points, six hits, four blocked shots and five PIM while averaging 8:12 of ice time, but he'll be sent back to the minors now that the Avalanche have concluded their regular season. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see Wagner rejoin Colorado's taxi squad if the Eagles' postseason ends before the Avalanche's playoff run.

Wagner was recalled from AHL Colorado on Thursday.

Wagner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was returned to the minors right after Tuesday's matchup with the Golden Knights in which he generated four hits and five PIM while logging 7:25 of ice time. At the NHL level, the veteran forward is mired in a 17-game pointless streak. The move to the minors could be a temporary demotion, especially after Ross Colton (upper body) picked up an injury Tuesday.

Wagner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner was scratched for Tuesday's game versus the Islanders, which was his second time out of the lineup in three games while on the NHL roster. The Avalanche will likely continue to rotate through depth forwards, and Wagner could still be in the mix for a call-up later in the season.

Wagner was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Wagner has spent most of this season in the NHL, and he remained with the Avalanche for Thursday's game against San Jose despite recently clearing waivers. However, he hasn't had a significant impact this year, totaling one goal, 47 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-7 rating while averaging 6:55 of ice time over 23 appearances. Even if he rejoins the Avalanche at some point, it seems unlikely that the 33-year-old will be a reliable fantasy contributor.
