Latta penned a one-year contract with Kunlun Red Star (KHL).
EDGE Analysis
Despite 113 games with the Capitals, Latta has been stuck in the AHL for the previous two seasons -- playing for four different minor-league teams over that stretch. The 27-year-old likely won't increase his NHL career totals, which currently sit at four goals, 13 helpers and 130 PIM.

The Coyotes traded Latta to New Jersey in exchange for Ryan Kujawinski on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Latta hasn't drawn into an NHL contest since appearing in 43 games with the Capitals in 2015-16, so he'll likely spend most of his time with the Devils' AHL affiliate this campaign. His move to New Jersey will have no impact in fantasy circles this season.

Latta was waived Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former Cap signed on with the Coyotes organization this offseason after spending 2016-17 between Los Angeles' and Chicago's AHL affiliates. Latta doesn't provide much from an offensive standpoint, though he's a tough player that does well in his own end. Expect Latta to be assigned to AHL Tucson if he's to go unclaimed on waivers.

Latta signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Coyotes on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Latta spent the entirety of the 2016-17 campaign with Ontario and Rockford of the AHL, recording five goals and 17 assists across 61 games. His last NHL action came during the 2015-16 season with the Capitals, when he took part in 43 games, but was largely held in just a minor role. In signing a two-way contract with the Coyotes, Latta could spend even more time developing in the AHL moving forward, which could limit his overall upside as a fantasy option.

Latta was acquired from the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday in exchange for D Cameron Schilling.
EDGE Analysis
Latta will report to Rockford of the AHL. He has four goals and 17 points with 130 penalty minutes over 113 NHL games during his time with the Washington Capitals from 2013-16. Latta is a depth player and his fantasy appeal is negligible in most formats, although he can be a cheap source of PIM when skating with the big club.

Latta was placed on waivers by the Kings on Monday, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latta was competing for a bottom six spot in training camp, but will instead start the season with AHL Manchester if he clears waivers. He should be one of the first people called up if a Kings forward goes down.

Latta signed a one-year, $600,000 contract with the Kings on Friday, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latta appeared in 43 games with the Capitals last season, tallying just seven points (three goals, four assists) over that span. The 25-year-old forward will likely compete for a bottom-six role with the Kings in 2016-17.

Latta will not be receiving a qualifying offer from the Capitals, making him a free agent, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Latta will officially become a free agent on July 1. The 25-year-old made 43 appearances for Washington this past season, posting a total of just seven points (three goals and four assists).

Latta will be in the lineup Tuesday against the Islanders, Isabelle Khurshusyan of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Barry Trotz said the 24-year-old, who has not played since Feb 22, will get the call in place of Stanislav Galiev. He will likely be playing on the fourth line and has limited fantasy upside.

Latta was back at practice Saturday, reports Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post.
EDGE Analysis
Latta missed Friday's game against Minnesota, but it looks like he's over the illness and should be back on the ice for Sunday's contest against the Blackhawks. Even so, the 24-year-old only has one point in February, keeping him off the radar for fantasy purposes.
