McKenzie was waived by the Blues on Monday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie is expected to clear waivers, and he could be retained on the taxi squad until the AHL season commences in February. The 29-year-old has played in just seven NHL games since the 2016-17 season, but he's enjoyed success in the minors in that stretch.

McKenzie signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blues on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie hasn't played an NHL game in two years, but he was quite productive with AHL Chicago, registering 37 goals and 96 points over two seasons. The 29-year-old winger likely will report to AHL Springfield -- the Blues' new minor-league affiliate -- following training camp.

McKenzie (undisclosed) found himself designated for waivers Monday for the purpose of reassignment to the minors, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie -- who had been dealing with an undisclosed injury -- will likely spend the bulk of the 2018-19 campaign in the minors. The winger logged just seven games for the Stars last season and could face a similar workload this year.

McKenzie (undisclosed) is close to being 100-percent healthy, but he won't be available Friday versus the Kings, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

That leaves Sunday's game opposing the visiting Sharks as McKenzie's final chance for a tune-up ahead of the regular season. He could certainly use more seasoning, as the winger only appeared in seven games at the top level with Dallas in 2017-18; two helpers represent his point total over that span.

Mckenzie (undisclosed) did not take the ice for Saturday's exhibition against San Jose, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

While its not entirely clear if this is injury-related, McKenzie looks like he will miss his fourth straight in as many games this preseason. Vegas has a very deep group of young players, so his absence could be related to this reality.

McKenzie was wearing a non-contact jersey at Friday's training camp session, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie appeared in a mere seven contests for the Stars last season and may be hard pressed to earn a spot on the 23-man roster for the Golden Knights given the organizations depth on the wings. An extended absence due to his undisclosed injury will only serve to make this more of an uphill battle. Even if he does land a spot on the roster, the British Columbia native could find himself watching from the press box more often than not.

McKenzie penned a two-year, $1.5 million contract with Vegas on Sunday, Rick Dhaliwal of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie shined with AHL Texas by racking up 25 goals and 48 points, but his NHL play hasn't fully surfaced. The 27-year-old will have a tough battle for a bottom-six role with Vegas, so he may have to start the season with AHL Chicago.

McKenzie was returned to AHL Texas on Friday, Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The forward position is generally the deepest in fantasy, so poolies can probably head to the waiver wire to find someone that can do as much -- if not more -- than McKenzie was with the NHL's Stars, including his output of two assists over seven games this season.

The Stars recalled McKenzie from AHL Texas on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jason Spezza (back) and Brett Ritchie (lower body) will both be unavailable Tuesday against Washington, so McKenzie will round out Dallas' depth up front against the Capitals. The 27-year-old forward has racked up 24 goals and 45 points in 45 games in the minors this campaign.

The Stars reassigned McKenzie to AHL Texas on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McKenzie's demotion indicates Antoine Roussel (illness) will likely be available for Saturday's matchup with Vegas. The 26-year-old winger tallied one helper while averaging just 7:51 of ice time during his four-game stint with the big club.
