Postma agreed to terms with Ak Bars (KHL) on a one-year deal Wednesday, Igor Eronko of Sport-Express reports.
EDGE Analysis
Postma saw action in just 14 games last season for the Bruins, spending the bulk of the campaign watching from the press box. Selected by the Thrashers (Jets) in the seventh round of the 2007 NHL Draft, the defenseman has logged 205 games in which he tallied 10 goals and 25 helpers. At 29 years of age, it seems unlikely the Alberta native will find his way back to North America before his career comes to a close.

Postma will not have a chance to re-sign with the Bruins, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Postma only appeared in 14 games for the Bruins this season, and a single assist represented his point total over that span. The right defenseman was due to become an unrestricted free agent come July 1 which renders the decision to let him loose not at all surprising.

The Bruins have assigned Postma to AHL Providence.
EDGE Analysis
In 14 contests with Boston this season, Postma has logged just one assist. With Providence, however, the 29-year-old has recorded six helpers in as many games. Postma is a candidate for another recall down the stretch run, but at the NHL level, his fantasy upside is limited.

Postma was recalled by the Bruins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Postma is back up with the big club to provide the team's banged-up blue-line corps with some added depth in advance of Wednesday's contest against the Blues. With just one assist in 12 games for Boston to date, Postma is off the fantasy radar, however.

Postma was returned to AHL Providence on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old defenseman is nothing but organizational depth at this juncture.

The Bruins have recalled Postma from AHL Providence on emergency basis.
EDGE Analysis
It remains to be seen if Postma will suit up Thursday against the Panthers, but he'll give the B's some added blue line depth with both Zdeno Chara and Torey Krug dealing with unspecified injuries. In 12 games with the big club this season, Postma has logged one assist. Meanwhile, with Providence, the 29-year-old has recorded five helpers in as many contests.

Postma was sent to waivers Sunday by Boston, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Boston signing Brian Gionta and acquiring Rick Nash, someone had to be the odd man out on the roster, and Postma was unfortunately the selection. The 29-year-old hasn't played in a game since Dec. 14, but has spent the majority of his time in the NHL since 2014-15, and could draw interest from teams lacking defensive depth.

Postma has recorded one assist and two PIM in 12 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Postma, who last suited up on Dec. 13, currently slots in as the Bruins' eighth defenseman and as a result he's off the fantasy radar, with the team's back line corps currently in good health. Down the road when injuries hit, however, he's an experienced option for the team to turn to. The 28-year-old has 203 career regular-season NHL games under his belt to date.

Postma was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Postma has been struggling to find time on the ice lately as he's only suited up for six of Boston's last 18 games, averaging a mere 8:50 of ice time in those contests. The 28-year-old did consistently contribute for Winnipeg in 2016-17 notching 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 65 games, but unless injuries arise, it doesn't appear Postma is a large part of Boston's blueline plans this season.

Postma will be a healthy scratch for Monday's tilt with Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The former Jet's run of six-straight games will come to an end Monday, as the recently recalled Rob O'Gara is set to replace Postma in the lineup. Postma was brought in by GM Don Sweeney in the offseason to provide the B's a seventh defenseman with some experience and power-play acumen, but is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy play this campaign.
