Alt has spent the majority of his career in the AHL, registering 78 points in 260 games across six seasons. He has 0 points and is a -1 in 9 career NHL games. He holds little to no fantasy value.
Stewart has just 13 points (9G/4A) in 47 games this season. He was having a hard time staying in the Wild lineup, as him and Marcus Foligno were in a bit of a timeshare for the 12th forward spot. After averaging just 10 minutes of ice time per game this season, he may see an increased workload in Calgary so long as Michael Ferland (undisclosed) remains sidelined.
Oduya doesn't offer much fantasy value at this point in his career. Even while playing on the top pair alongside Erik Karlsson he couldn't muster more than a measly 8 points (4G/4A) in 51 games this season. Nevertheless, he adds some much needed depth and stability to the Flyers' blue line.
It looks like it’s the end of an era for one of the NHL’s All-Time greats. After picking up 43 goals and 69 assists (112 points) in 161 games over the last two seasons with the Panthers, he signed with the Flames this offseason. It was believed that Jagr still had something left in the tank but injuries limited to just 22 games through the Flames first 49 games and his NHL career will likely end on a disappointing note.
Jokinen has had a very difficult campaign after signing with the Oilers this offseason. Jokinen had just one assist in 14 games with Edmonton before being traded to the Kings, where he added another five points (1G / 4A) in 18 games. The Blue Jackets offence needs a boost and Jokinen should help their 30th ranked power-play (13.5%).
Shaw was a healthy scratch in Los Angeles on Saturday and was placed on waivers on Sunday after the Ducks claimed J.T. Brown from the Lightning. Shaw has just two goals and six assists (eight points) in 42 games with the Ducks.
Franson has picked up seven points (1G / 6A) in 23 games with the Blackhawks this season. The right-handed defenseman has a +9.2 relative Corsi this season, the best among all Blackhawks skaters. The emergence of Jordan Oesterle has apparently made Franson expendable. Franson will likely be claimed.
Hamilton has sat as a healthy scratch for the majority of the season, only appearing in eight games with the Flames, collecting just one assist. He will likely fill a similar role with the Coyotes.
Niemi opened the season in Pittsburgh but was claimed off of waivers when Roberto Luongo was hurt and now that he is back, Niemi was waived again and claimed by Montreal who are currently without Carey Price and Al Montoya. Niemi is likely just insurance and will be nothing more than Charlie Lindgren’s backup. He heads to Montreal with a 6.74 GAA and .822 SV% in give games this season. Yikes.
