Kaut has signed a one-year contract with HC Dynamo Pardubice of the Czech League, Josh Frojelin of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut's NHL rights will remain with the Sharks, who gave him a qualifying offer in June. Kaut had four goals and eight points in 36 NHL games in 2022-23, tallying three times with a pair of helpers in nine games with the Sharks after a Jan. 25 trade from the Avalanche.

Kaut was sent to AHL San Jose on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut played nine games with the Sharks after his trade from Colorado, scoring three goals and adding a pair of assists in nine games. He had three goals and 13 points in 15 AHL games with San Jose this season. Kaut started the season with Colorado, where he had a goal and two assists in 27 contests.

Kaut logged an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut has picked up two goals and two helpers over his last six outings. He's started to get a top-six look alongside Tomas Hertl, which is a valuable spot to occupy in a Sharks lineup that has minimal talent on the wings. Kaut is up to eight points, 44 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 36 appearances.

Kaut scored a power-play goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut's goal at 17:57 of the third period secured the Sharks' surprising win. The 23-year-old has four points over eight contests with the Sharks, surpassing the three points in 27 games he recorded with the Avalanche earlier in the year. The 23-year-old winger has added 41 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-4 rating through 35 appearances. He could continue to get a look in a middle-six role, but his production is unlikely to be enough to help in fantasy.

Kaut logged an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut drew into the lineup with Evgeny Svechnikov (lower body) out. The assist was Kaut's second point five games with the sharks after he was traded from the Avalanche in January. The winger has five points, 34 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-3 rating through 32 appearances. He played on the second line Monday and may be due a longer look in the top six.

Kaut was recalled from AHL San Jose on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut had three goals and 13 points in 15 games with the Barracuda before his recall. The 23-year-old has a goal in three games with the Sharks after picking up a goal and two assists in 27 games with Colorado earlier in the season.

Kaut was demoted to AHL San Jose on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut has one goal in three appearances since being acquired by the Sharks. The 23-year-old could be back with the team before Tuesday's game against Montreal.

Kaut scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

This was Kaut's second game with the Sharks after beginning the year with the Avalanche prior to a trade in January. The 23-year-old has stepped into a middle-six role right away -- he played alongside Tomas Hertl, who set up his tally on Thursday. Kaut has four points, 28 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-2 rating through 29 appearances between the two teams this season. If he can gain a bit more ice time and show some scoring production, he could be a fantasy target for managers in deeper formats.

Kaut was brought up from AHL San Jose on Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut has recorded one goal and five assists in seven minor-league contests with the Barracuda since he was acquired from the Avalanche. His recall may not bode well for the status of Timo Meier, who is questionable to play Monday against Seattle due to an upper-body injury.

Kaut and Jacob MacDonald were acquired by San Jose from Colorado in exchange for Matt Nieto and Ryan Merkley on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kaut, who is currently in the minors, has five goals and eight points in 10 games with the AHL's Eagles in 2022-23. He's also contributed a goal and three points in 27 contests while averaging 9:08 of ice time with the Avalanche this season.
