McCoshen was cut by the Wild on Monday and reassigned to AHL Iowa.

EDGE Analysis

McCoshen joined the Wild this offseason after signing a one-year, two-way pact with the club. Despite not playing in the NHL since 2018-19, the 25-year-old blueliner has registered four goals, three helpers and 115 hits in 60 career games. McCoshen figures to spend the bulk of his time in the minors this season, but he could get an opportunity during the year should injuries or illness occur.

McCoshen signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Wild on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McCoshen hasn't played in the NHL since 2018-19 when he was with the Panthers. In his 60 NHL contests, the 25-year-old blueliner registered four goals, three helpers and 115 hits. With Minnesota, McCoshen figures to spend significant time in the minors but could get an opportunity during the year if somebody picks up an injury.

McCoshen was sent down to AHL Rockford on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McCoshen was with the big club to serve as defensive depth, but the team is sending him down to make room for goaltender Kevin Lankinen while Robin Lehner battles flu-like symptoms. Should further injuries strike on the blue line, expect McCoshen to be near the top of the list of possible call-ups for Chicago.

McCoshen was called up from AHL Rockford on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

McCoshen's call-up came after Duncan Keith suffered a groin injury in Friday's game versus the Avalanche. Matthew Highmore was reassigned in a corresponding move. McCoshen will likely just serve as defensive depth while with the Blackhawks.

McCoshen was traded to Chicago from Florida in exchange for Aleksi Saarela on Tuesday, Chris Kuc of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCoshen had yet to stick in the NHL level with the Panthers, playing in just 98 games with the club the past three seasons, and accumulating 16 points. The 24-year-old will head to AHL Rockford following the trade, and faces a tough task to make the big club with a young defensive core in Chicago.

McCoshen was placed on waivers Wednesday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the past three seasons McCoshen has split his time between the Panthers and their AHL affiliate, and it looks no different this year. A second-round pick in 2013, McCoshen played in 19 games last season with the Panthers, collecting two points.

McCoshen inked a one-year, two-way contract with Florida on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McCoshen saw action in just 19 games for the Panthers last season, in which he recorded one goal, one assist and 15 shots while averaging a meager 13:19 of ice time. In the minors, the 23-year-old notched nine assists and 49 PIM in 38 contests. Without a guaranteed spot on the 23-man roster, McCoshen won't offer much in terms of fantasy value this season, though his limited offensive upside likely makes him a low-end option anyway.

McCoshen was handed a qualifying offer by the Panthers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Since joining Florida out of college, McCoshen has consistently been a fringe player on the 23-man roster, splitting time between leagues. The 2013 second-round pick saw action in a mere 19 games this season, in which he notched a pair of points. The 23-year-old won't ever be an offensive stud, which limits his fantasy value even in deeper formats that factor in hits and blocks.

McCoshen was back in the press box during Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old stepped into his first game in 22 days on Monday, as Mark Pysyk missed a game due to the birth of his child. McCoshen ended up collecting his first assist of the season, but finishing a minus-2. He was back in the press box when Pysyk returned to the team for Tuesday's contest.

McCoshen skated only 9:02 in a season-low 12 shifts during Sunday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

After being called up from the AHL in mid-January, McCoshen hasn't been given much responsibility, only averaging 13:21 in ice time over 18 games. Head coach Bob Boughner began to increase that number during February, peaking at 20:05 against Arizona on Feb. 26, before falling down to single digits on Sunday. Once Mackenzie Weegar (lower body) is feeling healthy, McCoshen might find himself in the press box for a few games.
