Grimaldi inked a two-year contract with KHL team SKA St. Petersburg on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi brings over 200 games of NHL experience to his new club, though he hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2021-22 when he was with the Predators. Along the way, the gritty winger notched 30 goals and 37 assists, adding four points in 11 postseason contests. At 32 years of age, this likely will close the door on Grimaldi's NHL future.

Carolina released Grimaldi on Sunday from his professional tryout agreement.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi generated 36 goals and 73 points in 72 games with AHL Chicago during the 2023-24 regular season. He may have to settle for a minor-league contract to play in North America this campaign.

Grimaldi signed a professional tryout agreement with Carolina, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi hasn't made an NHL appearance since the 2021-22 campaign when he logged seven games for the Predators. Still, the veteran winger impressed with AHL Chicago last year, tallying 36 goals and 37 assists in 72 outings with the Wolves. If he can show even glimpses of that scoring touch during camp, Grimaldi should have a decent shot at earning at least a two-way deal from Carolina.

Grimaldi was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old played in a pair of games during this most recent call-up, going scoreless while skating less than 9:30 in each. With the Predators now off until at least Dec. 27 against Dallas, Grimaldi will head back to the Admirals.

Grimaldi was summoned from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi has featured in five games with the Predators this season, going scoreless with six shots and four hits in 11:36 of average ice time. The 28-year-old isn't likely to make much of a fantasy impact as a result.

Grimaldi cleared waivers Friday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With no points in five games and often serving as a healthy scratch, Grimaldi easily passed through waivers and will head to AHL Milwaukee, where he recorded 11 points in 10 games back in 2018-19.

Grimaldi was waived by the Predators on Thursday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi has only cracked Nashville's lineup on five occasions through the first 13 games of the campaign, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. Grimaldi will almost certainly be assigned to the Predators' AHL affiliate if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Grimaldi served as a healthy scratch for the third time in five games Saturday against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Grimaldi scored a respectable 10 goals and 13 points in 40 games last season, but can't seem to crack the lineup on a regular basis so far this year. He should not be on anyone's fantasy roster right now.

Grimaldi scored a shorthanded goal in Monday's 5-0 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

With Tyler Lewington in the sin bin for cross-checking, Grimaldi converted on a feed from Tanner Jeannot just 2:51 into the game. The 28-year-old Grimaldi has had a tumultuous season -- he scored four times versus Detroit on March 25, but was recently a healthy scratch for eight games before drawing into the regular-season finale. Overall, he produced 10 tallies, three assists, 62 shots on net and a minus-3 rating in 40 outings.

Grimaldi was a healthy scratch for the fifth consecutive game Saturday against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

This should not come as a surprise to anyone, as the 28-year-old Grimaldi has been in and out of the lineup all season, and furthermore has never played a full season in the NHL in his career. Given that the Preds are desperately clinging to a playoff spot with just four games remaining, it will be interesting to see if Grimaldi can work his way back into the lineup at some point down the stretch.
