Bourque was returned to AHL San Antonio on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bourque saw 13:21 of ice time in his one-game stint with the team in which he dished out three hits and one shot on goal. The 26-year-old has five points in 11 outings in the minors this year and will likely continue bouncing between leagues throughout the season.

The Avalanche recalled Bourque from AHL San Antonio on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bourque will supply the Avalanche with depth up front, but won't be a useful fantasy option, as he's failed to tally a single point while averaging just 10:46 of ice time in five games with Colorado this season. If the 26-year-old winger is able to crack the lineup during his stay with the Avalanche, he'll likely slot into a bottom-six role, and get additional ice time on one of the team's penalty-killing units.

Bourque was reassigned to AHL San Antonio on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old hasn't seen much ice time, averaging 10:46 per game, however, he hasn't done much with the opportunities given, only putting up three shots on goal in five games. He will likely be the first forward called up if someone gets injured.

Bourque turned his tryout into a one-year deal with the Avalanche on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After securing his new deal, Bourque was placed on waivers in order to create roster flexibility, Terry Frei of the Denver Post reports. Assuming he is unclaimed of waivers, the winger could still be on the Avs' Opening Night roster, but can then be moved between the majors and minors when necessary throughout the season.

Bourque will attend the Avalanche's training camp on a professional tryout agreement, James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail reports.
EDGE Analysis
Injuries limited Bourque to just 22 games with the Predators in 2015-16, and the 25-year-old winger was only able to tally an unimpressive four points (one goal, three assists) over that span. The 2009 fifth-round pick will compete for a bottom-six role during the Avalanche's upcoming training camp, but won't be worth consideration in fantasy leagues in 2016-17 regardless of the outcome of his tryout.

Bourque (upper body) was recalled Sunday from his inLong-Termin Injury Loan with the AHL Milwaukee affiliate.
EDGE Analysis
Bourque went without a point in the weekend's games with the Admirals, and he's now appeared in four contests with the affiliate over the past four weeks. He hasn't played with the Predators since late November, but his recall could mean he's finally nearing a return date. Expect another update when or if that happens yet this season, but even when healthy, Bourque doesn't produce consistently enough for fantasy consideration in the vast majority of leagues.

Bourque (upper body) was sent to AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
A bottom-six forward when healthy, Bourque's four points through 22 games this season doesn't provide much on the fantasy front. He will join AHL Milwaukee ahead of the affiliate's three-game set Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It's possible he could return to the lineup for the Predators on Monday, but that would be a pretty quick turn around. In any event, expect the team to further update the winger's status when he's fit to play.

Bourque (upper body) has been recalled by the Predators from his long-term injury loan with AHL Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
That said, Bourque will remain on Nashville's Injured Reserve list for the time being after having last appearing in an NHL game back on Nov. 27. Prior to suffering his upper-body injury, Bourque recorded four points in 22 games for the Preds.

Bourque (upper body) was assigned to AHL Milwaukee this week on a long-term injury loan.
EDGE Analysis
According to NHL rules, the terms of Bourque's loan state that he cannot spend any more than six calendar days or three games with the Admirals, meaning he is likely to be returned to the Preds following this weekend's back-to-back games against the Manitoba Moose and Iowa Wild. At this point, it appears Bourque is healthy enough to at least suit up for live game action with the Ads, so look for a possible return to the Preds' lineup once he lands back in Nashville.

Bourque (upper body) again participated in practice Monday, but his return date remains unclear.
EDGE Analysis
Bourque's been practicing with the Preds for three weeks, but the team's declined to offer a timeline for his return. He's now missed 28 consecutive games and remains waiver material in the vast majority of fantasy formats.
