Fontaine signed a one-year deal with Dynamo Minsk (KHL) on Monday, Igor Eronko of Sport-Express reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fontaine was unable to crack the lineup with either the Rangers or the Oilers last year -- instead spending the entire campaign down in the minors. While in the AHL, the University of Minnesota - Duluth product tallied 41 points in 65 outings. The 29-year-old does have some NHL experience (197 games with the Wild) so a return to the league is not out of the question -- if he can put together a solid season in Russia.

Fontaine was shipped to Edmonton for Taylor Beck by the Rangers prior to Wednesday's NHL trade deadline.

EDGE Analysis

A member of the Wild organization for his entire career prior to this season, Fontaine signed on with the Rangers in October and has been plying his trade with AHL Hartford, collecting 30 points in 50 games. He could serve as a legitimate bottom-six winger for a team that has more room to utilize him; Fontaine was never going to get a chance with the Rangers except in case of a raft of injuries. Expect him to start out with AHL Bakersfield unless otherwise noted.

Fontaine signed a two-way contract with the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old wasn't much of an offensive threat last season, only scoring 16 points, so he will start out with AHL Hartford. If the Rangers need some forward depth at some point, Fontaine could be an option.

Fontaine was released from his professional tryout with the Stars on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Fontaine made it to the end of camp but it was going to be difficult for him to crack a loaded forward group for the group for Dallas. He's now a free agent and available to sign with other clubs.

Fontaine will join the Stars on a PTO contract and is expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Fontaine will have another shot at an NHL roster after he couldn't make the cut in Florida. If he can return to his 2014-15 form when he put up 31 points with the Wild, he may just be given the opportunity to make an impact in a very potent Dallas offense.

Fontaine was released from his professional tryout offer with the Panthers on Friday, Harvey Fialkov of the Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Now that the World Cup of Hockey is over, the training camp rosters will no longer be thin. Evidently, Fontaine, who was formerly with the Wild, did not make a lasting impression with the Panthers. Plus, he produced roughly half as many points (16) last year as he did in his second go-around with Minnesota.

Fontaine agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with the Panthers on Thursday, Chris Johnston of Sportnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a couple of top guys away at the World Cup of Hockey, Fontaine's signing could be as simple as needing extra bodies for training camp. Last season aside when he notched just 16 points, the winger's two previous campaigns have been decent years, 21 points in 2013-14 and 31 in 2014-15, for a perennial bottom-six player. Even if he does stick in Florida, fantasy owners won't be clamouring to get a share of the 28-year-old.

Fontaine had an assist, his 9th on the season, in Tuesday's overtime loss to Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Fontaine had fallen out of favor of the coaching staff and was a healthy scratch for two games in early March, but he's had more than 12 minutes of ice time each of the last three games.

Fontaine was a healthy scratch in Saturday's win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Fontaine's ice time has been on the decline since the Wild acquired David Jones at the trade deadline. Fontaine is averaging just 9:50 of ice time, no points and three shots on goal in his last four games he's been active.

Fontaine was a healthy scratch in Thursday's win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Fontaine has just three assists and no goals in his last 20 games. He may fight for playing time until he breaks out of his slump.
