Stanton signed a professional tryout contract with the Blackhawks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old made his NHL debut with the Blackhawks in 2012-13, and he's a veteran of 120 games. Stanton spent last season with AHL Rockford, so he has some familiarity with the organization, but he's unlikely to get more than a two-way contract even if he impresses in training camp.

Stanton was released from his professional tryout with the Oilers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton is under contract with the Oilers' AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, so he'll report there before the minor-league season starts in February. The 31-year-old Stanton hasn't played in the NHL since 2015-16, so there's little chance he rises to that level again in 2020-21.

Stanton will attend Edmonton's training camp on a professional tryout offer.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton hasn't appeared in an NHL contest since he logged one game with the Capitals in 2015-16, so the best he can hope for is playing his way into a two-way deal with the Oilers during camp.

Stanton was waived by the Oilers on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Alberta native hasn't appeared in an NHL game since his single cup of coffee with the Capitals in 2015-16.

Stanton was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was recalled Friday to provide depth on the blue line after an upper-body injury to Adam Larsson, but the recently added Brandon Davidson will now assume this duty. Stanton is unlikely to make any sort of fantasy impact for the Oilers this season.

Stanton was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was promoted after Adam Larsson (upper body) was placed on injured reserve. The 28-year-old Stanton has notched one helper, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating in 11 minor-league games this season. The WHL product has never been a prolific scorer, so fantasy owners probably shouldn't be banking on him to start potting a bunch of goals all of the sudden.

Stanton was Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to the AHL's Bakersfield Condors on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was called up Wednesday ahead of the Oilers' matchup with the Red Wings, but he did not see any ice time in the 6-2 win. He's expected to spend majority of the 2017-18 season with Bakersfield.

Stanton was called up from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers defense is in free fall, having allowed an astounding 18 goals in the last three games, so this move is likely in an attempt to shake things up and give Stanton a chance to prove himself where the rest of the defensive corps cannot. The 28-year-old put up decent defensive numbers while playing regularly for the Canucks from 2013 to 2015, but has never been much of a scoring threat.

Stanton (foot) was waived by the Oilers on Tuesday with the purpose of assignment to AHL Bakersfield.

EDGE Analysis

This was the likeliest course of action for Stanton anyway and he will now have the opportunity to rehab his injury in the minors with the goal of taking another shot at the NHL roster once he is healthy enough. That could be easier said than done though, as it will probably require an injury to one of Edmonton's defensive corps at least a few weeks down the road.

Stanton is expected to miss several weeks after sustaining a broken foot, Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was likely competing with Eric Gryba and Matt Benning for a spot on the third pairing, but will now have to face the prospect of sitting out for an extended time frame. The 28-year-old has logged a lone NHL appearance in the past two seasons and this injury will likely result in him being reassigned to AHL Bakersfield once he is cleared for action.
