Bailey was traded to the Ducks from the Sharks on Wednesday in exchange for Pavol Regenda, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has made 33 appearances for AHL San Jose to begin the regular season, recording seven goals, seven assists, 26 PIM and a minus-6 rating. He played in 59 games with the Sharks last season and will get a fresh start with a new organization, but he'll likely remain in the minors for now.

Bailey was put on waivers Monday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey collected five goals, 14 points, 70 shots on net and 76 hits across 59 contests with the Sharks during the 2023-24 regular season. He will probably start the 2024-25 campaign with AHL San Jose, but he could be a call-up option at some point.

Bailey signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sharks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey suited up in 59 contests with the Sharks after agreeing to a two-way deal with the team in late November. He contributed five goals, 14 points, 70 shots on net and 76 hits at the NHL level. Bailey also earned six goals and 11 points in 16 regular-season outings with AHL San Jose in 2023-24. He will compete for a depth spot with the Sharks during training camp in the fall.

Bailey notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has two assists over his last three contests after producing just one point -- a goal -- over his previous 14 games. The winger has taken advantage of his opportunity in San Jose with 14 points, 58 shots on net, 61 hits and a minus-12 rating through 49 appearances this season. He continues to see steady time in a bottom-six role.

Bailey scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has two goals and two assists over six games since the All-Star break. He scored in garbage time Tuesday, ending a run of seven straight goals by the Devils. The 28-year-old winger has been a decent fourth-liner this season with 12 points, 43 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-6 rating through 36 appearances. Still, his limited usage in a weak offense will keep him off the fantasy radar.

Bailey scored a goal, dished two assists, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey saw just 9:58 of ice time in a fourth-line role, but he made the most of it. He scored off a turnover in the second period and assisted on both of Filip Zadina's third-period markers. This was Bailey's first multi-point effort of the season and his first career three-point game. The winger has four goals, seven helpers, 37 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-1 rating over 32 outings. While Thursday was a bright spot, his limited role in a weak offense makes the 28-year-old a tough player to justify rostering in fantasy.

Bailey found the back of the net in a 4-3 shootout victory over LA on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey didn't record a goal over his previous eight contests, though he did register an assist during that stretch. He's up to three markers and eight points in 26 outings in 2023-24. Bailey is serving as a bottom-six forward and receiving minimal power-play ice time, so the 28-year-old is unlikely to increase his offensive pace.

Bailey scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey tipped in a Mario Ferraro shot in the second period. The goal was Bailey's first point since he scored Dec. 12 versus the Jets. The 28-year-old winger is up to six points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 17 appearances. He continues to see bottom-six minutes, but Bailey's offense is too limited for fantasy purposes.

Bailey scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey's last NHL tally came March 10, 2018 when he played with the Sabres. He'd gone over five years without scoring, though he saw just 37 NHL games in that span. The 28-year-old has enjoyed something of a career renaissance in San Jose, picking up five points, 10 shots on net, seven hits and a plus-4 rating over eight appearances this season. It's already his most productive NHL campaign, though it's unclear if he's done enough to hold onto his place in the lineup once the Sharks get some injured forwards back.

Bailey logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Bailey has a helper in each of the last two games and four assists across seven contests since he made his Sharks debut Nov. 27. The 28-year-old winger has already matched his career high in points in a season at the NHL level. He's added eight shots on net, five hits and a plus-3 rating while mainly seeing time on the third line. He's unlikely to sustain this offense throughout the season, so Bailey is only really an option for fantasy managers in very deep formats.
