Andrej Nestrasil: Heads to free agency
Andrej Nestrasil wasn't extended a qualifying offer by the Hurricanes and will become an unrestricted free agent, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.Nestrasil saw his role decline this past year, going from 55 games played during the 2015 campaign to just 19 during the 2016 season. It appears he largely fell out of favor in Carolina, which makes it unsurprising that he failed to receive a qualifying offer. He'll look to latch on with a team in need of depth come the start of free agency on July 1.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Back in minors
Andrej Nestrasil was returned to AHL Charlotte on Friday.There have been obvious signs that Nestrasil is falling out of favor in Raleigh. He'd been waived in early January -- only to stick around upon clearing -- and then rode the bench for 22 games before returning to action for a mere 9:51 of ice time in Wednesday's overtime loss to the Lightning. Until he finds himself in a more favorable situation, you can safely ignore Nestrasil in all fantasy formats.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Recalled from AHL
Andrej Nestrasil was called up from the minors Wednesday, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports.Nestrasil has previously appeared in 18 NHL contests, logging five points, 25 shots and 10 hits. With Brock McGinn (upper body) and Jeff Skinner (upper body) still dealing with injuries, Nestrasil will provide much-needed depth even if he doesn't crack the lineup.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Put on waivers Monday
Andrej Nestrasil was placed on waivers by Carolina on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.The center has only played in two games since Dec. 13, a healthy scratch in all of those games, so Carolina is looking to free up a roster space. If he clears waivers, he will report to AHL Charlotte.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Continues to serve as healthy scratch
Andrej Nestrasil served as a healthy scratch for the sixth consecutive game Wednesday against the Penguins.Nestrasil has played in only 16 games this season with five points to show for it, and is frequently relegated to the bench whenever the Carolina Hurricanes have 16 healthy forwards, which is currently the case. As such, he currently has a fantasy value of about zero, and should not be on your roster.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Healthy scratch Saturday vs. Caps
Nestasil was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Capitals.This should come as no surprise to anyone who had been keeping an eye on Andrej Nestrasil's ice time -- he skated a season-low 7:24 Thursday against the Ducks. With just two points in eight games along with a minus-4 rating, Nestrasil has not endeared himself to the Carolina Hurricanes' coaching staff this season; as such, he should not be on anyone's fantasy roster right now.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Returns to lineup following benching
Andrej Nestrasil returned to the lineup Tuesday against the Red Wings and recorded his first point of the season - an assist - after missing the previous three games as a healthy scratch.While it was nice to see Nestrasil finally hit the scoresheet, he also saw ice time of just 9:40 as part of the Canes' fourth line. Nestrasil's role on the team has been diminished this season following the offseason acquisition of scoring winger Teuvo Teravainen and the arrival of rookie Sebastian Aho from the Finnish Elite League. After scoring a career-high 23 points in 55 games last season, it doesn't look like Nestrasil will come anywhere close to those totals this year, given his current fourth-line status. Look for replacements immediately.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Puts back injury behind him
Andrej Nestrasil (back) is expected to be "100 percent ready to go" for training camp, the Raleigh News & Observer reports.Nastrasil fractured his vertebra last February, prematurely ending what was supposed to be his first full campaign with the Carolina Hurricanes. The Czech winger could work on getting tougher, as he shies away from physicality despite having a 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame. However, last season, he showed flashes of offensive potential by producing nine goals and 23 helpers in 55 games.

Hurricanes' Andrej Nestrasil: Career season cut short by injury
Andrej Nestrasil (back) finished the 2015-16 season with a career-high 23 points in 55 games.Nestrasil was enjoying a very good campaign until a fractured vertebra in February cut his season short. Nestrasil started out the season in a bottom-six role before discovering some chemistry with Jordan Staal and Joakim Nordstrom. The trio went on to form a very solid second line, and Nestrasil's ice time spiked as a result -- as much as 18-20 minutes per night in mid-January. We expect a healthy Nestrasil to be back competing for a similar role when training camps open in September.
