The Maple Leafs loaned Gaudet to AHL Toronto on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudet was promoted to serve as an insurance policy in case Auston Matthews (wrist) was unavailable for Monday's matchup with Nashville, but Matthews was ultimately able to go, so the Leafs are no longer in need of the 26-year-old's services up front. He'll return to a prominent role with the Marlies, where he's notched 13 points in 39 games this campaign.

The Maple Leafs recalled Gaudet from AHL Toronto on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudet signed a two-way contract with Toronto during the offseason, and he's spent the entire season in the minors. The 26-year-old has posted 13 points over 39 AHL games. His recall is likely because Auston Matthews (wrist) is injured, but if Matthews is good to go, Gaudet isn't expected to play Monday versus the Predators.

Gaudet signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudet spent the entirety of the 2018-19 campaign with AHL Milwaukee, notching eight goals and 25 points in 50 games. The 26-year-old forward will likely stick with Toronto's minor-league affiliate for most, if not all of the upcoming season, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to keep tabs on him.

The Predators reassigned Gaudet to AHL Milwaukee on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudet hasn't appeared in an NHL contest since 2016, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. He'll return to a prominent role with Milwaukee, where he's notched 23 points in 41 appearances this campaign.

The Predators reassigned Gaudet to AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudet's demotions suggests the Predators believe Colton Sissons (lower body) will be ready to return following the holiday break.

Gaudet was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudet has compiled five goals and nine assists over 27 games for the Admirals this season, but he hasn't appeared in an NHL contest since the Coyotes rolled him out for four games in the 2016-17 season. He's merely an organizational depth option with Colton Sissons currently bogged down by a lower-body injury.

Gaudet scored a short-handed goal in a 5-on-3 situation for AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After the defenseman couldn't keep the puck in the zone, Gaudet outraced him to the puck and then beat the netminder for the rare 5-on-3 shortie. It was just the first game of the season for the Admirals, but Gaudet definitely put the Predators on notice with his impressive performance that included four shots on net.

Gaudet was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Making the trip with Gaudet will be Emil Pettersson, Brandon Bollig and Frederic Allard. The four players were recalled to get a feel for playoff hockey at the highest level and be injury relief in desperate measures, but none of them were expected to slot into the lineup by their own worth.

Gaudet inked a one-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaudet was acquired by the Predators at the trade deadline in an exchange of minor-league players, but evidently did enough to earn another year with the organization. In 69 AHL outings, the center notched 13 goals and 15 helpers, his best numbers since joining the professional ranks. Given the glut of talent Nashville has down the middle of the lineup, the 25-year-old will likely spend the bulk of the 2018-19 campaign with AHL Milwaukee.

Guadet was traded Monday along with John Ramage from Arizona to Nashville, in exchange for Pierre-Cedric Labrie and Trevor Murphy.

EDGE Analysis

This swap of minor leaguers broke late on deadline day, and Gaudet will stay in the minors after the transaction. The 24-year-old has played in 20 NHL games in his career, notching four points (one goal, three assists), but hasn't made an appearance this season. With Nashville acquiring Ryan Hartman and officially signing Mike Fisher in unrelated deals as well Monday, their forward group is now loaded with depth, and it seems unlikely he'll crack their lineup in 2017-18 either.
