Kalinin signed a three-year contract with SKA Saint Petersburg of the KHL on Saturday, Igor Eronko of Russia's Sport-Express reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been quite the whirlwind for Kalinin in 2017. He was originally waived by the Devils last February, only to go unclaimed and shipped off to Toronto for defenseman Viktor Loov a day later. The undrafted center wouldn't end up suiting up for the Buds, and he'd posted just 19 points (10 goals, nine assists) in 121 career games for New Jersey. Perhaps a move to his native country will jump-start his career.

The Devils traded Kalinin to the Maple Leafs on Saturday in exchange for defenseman Viktor Loov, The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kalinin barely had time to digest the fact that he cleared waivers for reassignment to AHL Albany before learning that he'd been dealt. Still, even though the winger is moving to a different organization, his status as an organizational depth player is not likely to change. As a result, look for him to report to AHL Toronto now.

Kalinin was waived by the Devils on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils activated Beau Bennett (lower body) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's loss to the Senators, yet they still have 13 healthy forwards even after cutting ties with Kalinin. The second-year winger has been a liability defensively, posting a minus-14 rating through 43 NHL games. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll report to AHL Albany.

Kalinin (undisclosed) is available for Sunday's contest in Vancouver but will be a healthy scratch, Andrew Gross of the Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even when healthy, Kalinin isn't exactly useful to the lineup, fantasy or otherwise, as evidenced here. He'll draw into the lineup again soon, but he's not likely to see much more than the 12:56 of ice time he's been averaging this season.

Kalinin won't suit up for Friday's road game versus the Flames after he was injured blocking a shot against the Oilers on Thursday night, Andrew Gross of the Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear right now where exactly Kalinin's injury is located, but hopefully the team will provide some more information if the injury turns out to be more serious. The Russian forward is riding a five-game pointless drought and has a minus-3 rating over that span, so most fantasy owners likely won't be missing him in their lineups Friday.

Kalinin scored a goal and added an assist during the third period of Monday's win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Kalinin doubled his point total with the two-point night, which highlights his lack of fantasy appeal. The 25-year-old forward will need to string together a few more scoresheet appearances before he's worth utilizing in any fantasy setting.

Kalinin (illness) will slot back into the depth chart against Vancouver on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kalinin has missed a total of seven contests this year with various ailments, but appears to be ready to go. Even when healthy, the winger has earned a paltry one helper this season with a minus-6 ratings and 17 shots on goal. It would take a significant shift in production for the 25-year-old to start producing at a fantasy relevant level moving forward.

Kalinin will miss Thursday's matchup against Chicago due to illness, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kalinin is certainly feeling the sophomore slump, as he has tallied a lone assist and is a minus-5 through 17 outings. Even when he is healthy enough to return, fantasy owners can probably leave the winger out of their lineups given his inability to produce this season.

Kalinin will slot back into the lineup against the Wild on Saturday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kalinin has been sidelined since the start of the season, but will be removed from injured reserve prior to puck drop Saturday. The 25-year-old played in 78 games during his rookie campaign and will be looking to improve upon his 15-point tally from last year. The winger figures to start on the Devils' fourth line, but could certainly work his way up the depth chart once he gets his legs back under him.

While Kalinen (illness) remains on injured reserve, it's expected that he will be in the lineup Saturday for a home game against the Wild, The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kalinen should reprise his role as a bottom-six winger upon returning. The Russian will look to assert himself offensively as a young skater -- he's 25 years old -- on a team chock full of veterans. As a rookie last season, he posted only 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in 78 games.
