Sekac signed a one-year deal with KHL team Ak Bars Kazan on Monday, Igor Eronko of Sport-Express reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sekac has bounced around the league of late, having played for four different teams over the last two seasons. In total, the 23-year-old winger saw action in a meager 39 contests last season in which he tallied a paltry six points. Sekac returns to the KHL where he will need to seriously step up his game if he hopes to return to the NHL in the future.

Sekac was claimed off waivers by Arizona on Saturday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sekac scored only a single point with the Blackhawks after being acquired from Anaheim, but he still holds promise at the age of 23. His time with the Coyotes could be pivotal, as he is a restricted free agent after this season.

Sekac was waived by the Blackhawks on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sekac has played in only six contests since being acquired by Chicago in a trade for Ryan Garbutt and garnered a lone assist. The 23-year-old has yet to play a full NHL season with any one team and will likely be reassigned to AHL Rockford if he goes unclaimed.

Sekac recorded a helper in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Sekac was able to make an impact in the box score for the first time with his new team -- the 23-year-old's sixth appearance with the Blackhawks. It was good to see the Czech tally points, but with only four on the year, look elsewhere for fantasy purposes.

EDGE Analysis
Sekac will skate on the fourth line alongside Brandon Mashinter and Dennis Rasmussen. The 23-year-old Czech winger has notched one goal and two assists through 23 games for Chicago this season.

Sekac will not join the Blackhawks on their road trip to Carolina on Tuesday, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the All-Star break just around the corner, the Blackhawks will give Sekac some extra rest by leaving him behind as they head to Carolina for their final game before the hiatus. Barring a long-term illness of some kind, it seems likely Sekac will be fine for the team's next game Feb. 2 against the Avalanche.

Sekac has been traded to Chicago in exchange for Ryan Garbutt, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
This move gives the Blackhawks both roster and salary flexibility since Sekac is on a two-way contract worth $925,000, and has just one year remaining on the deal, as noted by the Chicago Tribune. Sekac is known as a versatile forward but has just three points in 22 games this season. The Hawks have plenty of talented offensive producers in the top-six, so we believe Sekac will either slot in on the third or fourth lines or get a ticket to the AHL.

Sekac (ankle) will return to Anaheim's lineup for Thursday's game against the Sabres, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sekac has missed the Ducks' last 18 games with a sprained ankle, but was recalled from an AHL conditioning assignment Monday, indicating his nagging ankle ailment is now a thing of the past. He's expected to return to a top-six role, skating alongside Ryan Kesler and Jacob Silfverberg on Anaheim's second line in Thursday's tilt. The 23-year-old winger has tallied three points (one goal, two assists) in 11 games this season.
