Sanford hit the waiver wire Wednesday, reports NHL Insider Chris Johnston.
EDGE Analysis
Sanford has dressed for eight games for the Predators this season, registering one goal, one assist and a minus-3 rating. The 2013 second-round draft choice has compiled 48 goals in 297 NHL outings. If he clears waivers, he could add veteran leadership in the minors.

Sanford logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Sanford set up Jordan Gross's second goal of the game just 1:06 into the third period. The helper was Sanford's first of the year, and he's earned both of his points so far in his last four games. The 27-year-old forward has added seven shots on net, nine hits and four blocked shots in six outings. He's been a rotational option for head coach John Hynes, but Sanford sees power-play time when he plays, which typically comes at the expense of Eeli Tolvanen.

Sanford did not suit up for Saturday's 3-2 OT loss to the Flames, marking the fifth time in seven games he's served as a healthy scratch.
EDGE Analysis
Sanford has been unable to crack the lineup after signing a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Preds in July. However, the team has now lost five in a row following their 3-1 loss to the Flyers on Saturday, so it's possible we could see some lineup juggling that would allow Sanford to suit up since Oct. 18. Until that happens, his fantasy value remains negligible in most formats.

Sanford signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Predators on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Sanford appeared in 80 games split between the Senators and the Jets last season, picking up nine goals and 21 points over that span. The 27-year-old winger may have to settle for a reduced role with the Predators, meaning he could be in and out of the lineup, so don't count on him being a viable fantasy option in 2022-23.

Sanford (undisclosed) is expected back in the lineup versus Philadelphia on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanford has played in 15 games since joining the Jets at the trade deadline in which he's garnered three assists, 15 shots and 35 hits while averaging 15:02 of ice time. The winger will have three games remaining to prove to the organization he should be re-signed in the offseason; otherwise, he will hit free agency this summer.

Sanford (undisclosed) won't play Sunday versus Colorado, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets only have three games remaining following Sunday's contest, so he may be in danger of missing the rest of the season. The 27-year-old winger has picked up 20 points through 77 contests split between the Senators and the Jets this year.

Sanford logged an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Sanford ended a four-game point drought when he set up Adam Lowry for an empty-net goal. With three assists in 11 games since he was traded from the Senators to the Jets, Sanford continues to play more of a supporting role on offense. The winger has 20 points, 97 shots on net, 160 hits, 65 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating in 73 appearances this season.
