Enstrom (knee) has agreed to waive his no-move clause, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Enstrom is doing the Jets a huge favor by shedding his no-move clause, as the team now won't be forced to protect him in the upcoming expansion draft. Instead, Winnipeg will now be able to protect the significantly younger Tyler Myers (lower body) from being plucked by Las Vegas. However, this development doesn't necessarily mean Enstrom is on the move, as the 32-year-old blueliner has made it clear that he wants to remain in Winnipeg, Ken Wiebe reports. Either way, the veteran defenseman is no longer a viable option in most fantasy formats at this stage in his career. He only managed to tally 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 60 games last season.

The Jets could ask Enstrom (knee) to waive his no-move clause, the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unless the defenseman ditches the no-move designation, Winnipeg will be on the hook for the $5.75 million that remains in the final year of contract next season. While there's no question that Enstrom is a talented player, his fantasy appeal has dropped precipitously. He notched 30-plus points in his first five seasons, but has lost a step over the years and this campaign was particularly rough on the veteran since he sustained a brutal concussion in March and then underwent season-ending knee surgery with 15 games left in the regular season. We're still waiting to learn more about how his recovery from knee surgery is going, though you're bound to find him on the clearance rack as damaged goods until then.

Enstrom (concussion) will be out for 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing knee surgery Thursday morning, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets have been eliminated from playoff contention, so Enstrom's timetable is less about when he'll return than it is knowing when he could be fully healed in the offseason. The Swede appears to be on the downside of his career, having pitched in only 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) and a minus-7 rating over 60 games this season.

Enstrom (concussion) remains sidelined as Tuesday's game against New Jersey approaches, the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Enstrom, who last suited up March 8, topped 50 points twice earlier in his NHL career, but hasn't been much of a producer on offense of late, with his absence of more import to the Jets' blue line in real terms than it is to fantasy owners. Through 60 games to date, the 32-year-old has logged 14 points and 42 PIM to go along with a minus-7 rating.

Enstrom (concussion) will not be available against the Kings on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Enstrom has played in just five of the Jets' last 15 outings due to various maladies. The defender's inability to consistently show up on the statsheet -- one goal and 11 helpers in his previous 50 contests -- give him low end fantasy value. No timeline has been established for the 32-year-old's return, which means he could be sidelined for the remainder of the year with just nine games left on the schedule.

Enstrom (concussion) will miss his fifth consecutive outing when the Jets square off against Philadelphia on Tuesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Enstrom has missed several brief stretches this season due to various maladies, but even when healthy, his contributions on the scoresheet have been limited. The blueliner last registered a goal on Nov. 3, which marks a 49-game stretch without bending the twine. Goal drought notwithstanding, the 32-year-old is a crucial piece to the Jets' blue line and has been sorely missed.

Enstrom was diagnosed with a concussion Friday and will be out indefinitely, Sara Orlesky of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
It initially seemed like Enstrom was suffering facial fractures after taking a shot from Pittsburgh's Tom Sestito, however after further tests it turns out it was a concussion not a fracture. Concussions can have varying return timetables, so its unclear when Enstrom could be back on the ice.

Enstrom was sent to the hospital after exiting Wednesday's game against the Penguins to get checked for facial fractures.
EDGE Analysis
The results of Enstrom's evaluation have yet to be released, but if he did indeed sustain a facial fracture as a result of Pittsburgh's Tom Sestito's vicious hit, he could be looking at a long-term absence. More information regarding a potential timetable for Enstrom's return to Winnipeg's lineup should be released Thursday.

Enstrom will not rejoin the action Wednesday after exiting with an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
The blueliner has a history of providing a fair amount of points at the top level, but has only tallied a goal and 13 assists through 59 games this season. He does provide some additional value in leagues that utilize blocked shots (92) as a category, but the loss likely won't cost many fantasy owners. His next chance to rejoin the lineup comes Saturday when the Jets host Calgary.

Enstrom (lower body) will suit up against Minnesota on Tuesday, Sara Orlesky of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Enstrom's return couldn't come a moment too soon for the Jets as they are still without Jacob Trouba (suspension) and Tyler Myers (lower body) both still unavailable. While the 32-year-old will be a boost for Winnipeg's defense, he doesn't offer much in terms of offense considering he hasn't scored a goal since Nov. 3 -- a span of 44 games. When healthy, the Swede is averaging 1:29 of ice time with the man advantage, so his goal drought could end soon, but fantasy owners may want to consider other options on the blue line.
