Vermin signed a five-year contract with Lausanne HC of National League A in Switzerland on Tuesday, Swiss Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's back to the home country for Vermin, who the Lightning took with a seventh-round pick in the 2013 draft. The 25-year-old only appeared in 24 games with the Bolts, tacking on four assists.

Vermin was sent down to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Vermin only found his way into one game in his time up, only notching one shot in 10:16. With the Lightning out of the playoffs, this send down marks the end of Vermin's NHL season.

Vermin was promoted from the team's AHL affiliate Monday after being sent down earlier in the day, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lightning have shifted bodies around repeatedly of late, with Vermin being a consistent name among them. With only four games remaining in the regular season, this should come to an end in the near future. Despite his ascendance to the top level, the 25-year-old has only drawn into 17 games with Tampa Bay this season and doesn't possess much fantasy upside.

Vermin is scratched from Sunday's game against the Stars and will be returned to AHL Syracuse, Erik Erlendsson of Lightning Insider reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tyler Johnson back in the lineup Sunday, there is no need for Vermin to remain on the active roster and he will head back to the minors as a result. The 25-year-old did not manage any points in six games for the big club this time around.

Vermin, who originally thought he was headed to AHL Syracuse, ended up staying in Tampa Bay ahead of Saturday's game against the Candiens, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The depth winger remains with the parent club as the result of Tyler Johnson (lower body), Steven Stamkos (knee) and Cedric Paquette (lower body) all deemed unfit to play in the next contest. But since his playing time depends on the health of others, there's nothing to look at here from a fantasy perspective, especially this late in the season.

Vermin was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vermin is a frequent traveler about the organization's ranks, sometimes pinballing back and forth multiple times in a single week. At the bare minimum, fantasy owners need a guy with consistent playing time in the NHL.

Vermin was recalled from the team's AHL Syracuse affiliate Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vermin was sent to the minors just two days ago, but the absence of multiple bodies ahead of Thursday's contest against the Red Wings necessitated his recall again Wednesday. He's drawn into each of the last four games for the club, but doesn't see much ice time and provides little fantasy appeal.

Vermin was sent down to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Given the Lightning's propensity to shuffle players back and forth between leagues, Vermin's demotion could be a sign that either Tyler Johnson (lower body) or Cedric Paquette (lower body) are close to returning, or it could just be a paper transaction designed to save Tampa Bay some salary-cap dollars. The team doesn't suit up again until Thursday when they play the Red Wings, so more information regarding the potential return of injured players should be forthcoming.

Vermin was again recalled by the Lightning on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vermin continues to get juggled between the two levels, being promoted and demoted numerous times this season. He doesn't see enough action at the top level even when he plays, so it's unlikely the winger will obtain enough fantasy value this season to be worthy of ownership down the stretch.

Vermin was sent down to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The winger was scratched in both games after he was called up, serving only as some extra depth on the bench. His reassignment seems to signal the return of one of the many injured Lightning forwards, but which one it will be isn't yet clear.
