Luff was elevated to the main roster from the taxi squad Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Luff appeared twice this December for the Predators prior to being reassigned to the taxi squad after his COVID-19 diagnosis. He didn't record a point in either NHL contest. With AHL Milwaukee this season, the 24-year-old has logged seven goals and nine assists through 20 appearances.

Luff has entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols along with five other Predators players.
EDGE Analysis
Luff, a recent AHL call-up, averaged 8:34 of ice time and recorded one shot on goal in his two NHL performances. He will look to reclaim his depth role after submitting two negative tests, at which time he will be eligible to return to the NHL.

Luff was recalled by the Predators on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Although he's been recalled, at this point it isn't clear if Luff will be in the lineup for Friday night's game versus New Jersey. The 24-year-old winger has yet to appear in an NHL contest this season.

Luff was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Luff served as a healthy scratch for Tuesday's tilt against Detroit. He should continue spending most of his time with AHL Milwaukee where he has 16 points in 20 games this season.

Luff was elevated from AHL Milwaukee on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Luff has racked up 16 points in 20 games for the Admirals this season but has been unable to break into the lineup for the Preds. If the winger does get into an NHL contest, it would likely be in favor of Philip Tomasino or Yakov Trenin, though he will likely continue spending plenty of time in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Luff was waived Monday for the purpose of reassigning him to the minors, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luff has played in 64 NHL games, all for the KIngs, over the last three seasons in which he garnered 10 goals and seven helpers. Given his experience, the 24-year-old winger should be on the shortlist of potential call-ups should an injury or two force the organization to promote somebody from the AHL.

Luff signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators on Wednesday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luff went unqualified by the Kings after registering one assist in 13 contests last year. The 24-year-old winger should get a chance to compete for a bottom-six job with the Predators in 2021-22, but he's unlikely to make much of an impact from a fantasy perspective.

Luff will not be getting a qualifying offer from Los Angeles on Monday and will hit free agency as a result, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Luff has seen his games played drop each season since appearing in 33 contests back in 2018-19. Even with the rebuilding Kings, the 24-year-old winger cracked the lineup just 13 times this past year in which he notched one goal, 18 shots and eight hits while averaging 10:29 of ice time. If he does land an NHL deal, it figures to be a two-way contract that will allow him to be moved between leagues.
