Liambas announced his retirement via his personal Instagram on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Liambas spent most of his professional career playing at the ECHL and AHL levels. He most recently suited up for 43 games with AHL Iowa during the 2019-20 campaign. The 32-year-old appeared in eight career NHL games, notching one assist and racking up 21 PIM.

Liambas was waived by the Wild on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Liambas actually toiled in the AHL from 2010-17 before finally getting a cup of coffee with the Predators and Ducks, respectively, the past two seasons. Expect the 5-foot-10, 196-pound depth winger to be called up only if injuries deplete the Wild up front this season; he'll need to clear waivers first, but that seems inevitable.

Liambas agreed to a two-year, two-way deal with Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old winger has played just eight career NHL games, posting one assist with the Ducks last season. Liambas will likely start out next year with AHL Iowa and won't see much NHL playing barring a several injuries to Minnesota forwards.

Liambas (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Friday and subsequently sent to AHL San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Liambas was recalled when the Ducks were having serious injury issues on their offensive front, so he suited up for seven games and compiled one assist and 21 PIM. The Ducks are healthy enough to no longer need Liambas' services, though, so he'll head back to minors where he recorded two goals, five points and 50 PIM in 13 games earlier this season.

Liambas was placed on IR with an undisclosed ailment Friday, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Liambas logged just 4:37 of ice time Wednesday, it's hard to say with certainty that when he was injured, considering he is averaging a mere 5:17 to begin with. Given the winger's minimal opportunities, fantasy owners in all but the deepest of formats will likely be unaffected by his absence. In the meantime, recently acquired Joe Blandisi will fill out the lineup.

Liambas was called up from AHL San Diego on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old will be called upon as Anaheim remarkably has five forwards on injured reserve at the moment. Liambas recorded 11 points in 72 games last season in AHL Milwaukee, but has yet to record a point in the NHL.

Anaheim placed Liambas on waivers Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old blueliner is nothing more than an organizational depth player at this stage in his career, as he's only appeared in a single NHL contest since entering the AHL in 2012-13. He'll likely remain in the minors for the entire 2017-18 campaign.

Liambas was inked to a one-year, two-way deal with the Ducks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has only played in a single NHL contest to date, but he put forth a career-best effort with AHL Milwaukee last year with 11 points. Liambas is rather prolific when it comes to the pugilism department, however, as evidenced by his 149 PIM in 2016-17 and the fact that he's piled up an insane 762 over the last four years -- all of which have been in the AHL. That said, unless he cracks the Ducks' lineup and manages to put up triple-digit PIM at the the NHL level, he's not going to be relevant in fantasy circles anytime soon.

Liambas was assigned to AHL Milwaukee on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Miikka Salomaki (hand) and Ryan Ellis (upper body) slated to join the Predators' lineup soon, the team needed to make room on the roster and Liambas is the odd man out. The 27-year-old appeared in only 4:42 of a single game during this stint with the big club, managing one hit and a minus-1 rating.

Liambas was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators brought up both Liambas and Petter Granberg from Milwaukee to help restore some depth on the blue line with Ryan Ellis (upper body) hitting IR. Since the club already has six other healthy defensemen, it's not expected that Liambas will regularly crack the lineup, so he'll presumably just act as an insurance policy in the event Nashville suffers further injuries at the back end.
