Schroeder will try his luck in the KHL with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod after signing a one-year deal with the club Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the first taste of European hockey for Schroeder, who came up through the US Development team before playing for the University of Minnesota. Since his collegiate day, the center split time in the AHL and NHL, making a total of 165 appearances for Vancouver, Minnesota and Columbus, in which he registered 18 goals and 24 helpers. With his move overseas, the 28-year-old has likely played in his last NHL contests.

Schroeder was waived by the Blackhawks on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks acquired Schroeder in a straight swap for goalie Jean-Francois Berube in late June. Considering the team lacks depth at that position, it's a bit surprising that they let go of Berube for a player that they waived in the middle of training camp. At any rate, Schroeder will likely head to AHL Rockford in the event that he clears waivers.

Schroeder was traded from the Blue Jackets to the Blackhawks in a 1-for-1 swap for goalie Jean-Francois Berube on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Schroeder picked up only two points over 21 games with Columbus last season, and he's heard from his share of doubters about his diminutive stature at 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds. However, he's accumulated 42 points (18 goals, 24 assists) over 165 career contests, which is a decent rate of production for a guy who has been averaging 10:40 of ice time per contest.

Schroeder scored one goal and had one assist through 21 games in 2017-18, but just averaged 7:29 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Although Schroeder's never played in more than 37 NHL games in his career and usually bumps between the big league and AHL, the two points were a career low, and his minus-four rating was his second worst. Schroeder also wasn't handed much playing time in his first season in Columbus, as he averaged just 7:27 of ice time and didn't play in a game after Jan. 25. Although the 27-year-old is due back for 2018-19, it seems unlikely that he'll play a larger role with the team in his second season.

Schroeder cleared waivers Saturday and has been sent to AHL Cleveland, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schroeder picked up only two points (one goal, one assist) over 21 games with the Blue Jackets this season, but he's put together a better line (eight points in 15 games) at the AHL level this season. He's split time between the two levels during each of the last six seasons, having yet to stake a claim to a permanent role with an NHL club.

Schroeder's assist in the third period was his first of the year, earned in a 3-2 win over Toronto on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Schroeder has no real value in all but deep dynasty leagues, as he's bounced back between Columbus and AHL Cleveland and is with the Jackets to help the team get through its injury issues. He's not likely to stick around Columbus long-term, and with no point production to speak of besides Monday, he's not an option in any standard league.

Schroeder was loaned to AHL Cleveland on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Schroeder was recalled under emergency terms Friday to fill in for an injury-riddled offensive unit, but the Blue Jackets have four days off and likely expect to recover enough to no longer need his services. He logged just 8:01 of ice time in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Flyers, firing one shot on goal.

Schroeder was recalled from the team's AHL Cleveland affiliate Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Schroeder hasn't been gone from the team long, being demoted from the top roster Sunday. He should provide the Blue Jackets with some depth on the front lines, but he doesn't offer much from a fantasy standpoint. Schroeder has failed to tally a point and has averaged only 6:51 of ice time in his eight contests with the team this season.

Schroeder was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Minnesota native's most recent recall lasted all of four days, though he did play two games in that span, taking him up to a total of eight for the season. Schroeder has failed to score a point for the Jackets in 2017-18, as he's struggled to contribute offensively while mostly filling a fourth-line role.

Schroeder was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The NHL journeyman has suited up for six games as a Blue Jacket this season, going scoreless while averaging just over seven minutes of time on ice per game. Schroeder, a first-round pick in 2009, is a skilled player who has found it difficult to establish himself at the highest level partly due to the fact that he's been deployed as a bottom-six forward during his stints in the NHL.
