• Sami Vatanen: Inks overseas deal

  09/27/2021 • By RotoWire

  Vatanen agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Swiss club Geneve-Servette on Monday. Vatanen split last season between New Jersey and Dallas after being claimed off waivers by the Stars in April. In total, the 30-year-old blueliner appeared in 39 games in which he tallied just six points. Given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players should be impacted by his move away from the NHL.

• Stars' Sami Vatanen: Scooped off waivers

  04/12/2021 • By RotoWire

  The Stars claimed Vatanen off waivers from the Devils on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Vatanen recorded six points through 30 games with the Devils this season, and he'll get a fresh start with the Stars. It's an interesting pickup by the Stars, as they're on the outside looking in at a playoff spot, though there's little risk because of Vatanen's reasonable one-year, $2 million contract. Vatanen could make his Stars debut as early as Tuesday versus the Panthers.
