Hurricanes' Eric Gelinas: Signs with Carolina
Eric Gelinas signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.Gelinas could make as much as $750,000 if he can stick at the NHL level. That seems unlikely, though, as the veteran defenseman last played in the NHL back in 2016-17 with Colorado.

Eric Gelinas signed a contract with Slovan Bratislava of the KHL on Thursday, TSN reports.Gelinas entered the NHL in 2009 as New Jersey's second-round (54th overall) draft choice.

Canadiens' Eric Gelinas: Handed minor-league deal
Eric Gelinas signed a one-year contract with the Laval Rocket, Montreal's AHL affiliate, Arpon Basu of The Athletic Montreal reports.A second-round pick in 2009, Gelinas showed a lot of promise early in his career with New Jersey, scoring seven goals and 29 points over the course of 60 contests in 2013-14. Since then, however, Gelinas has lost his way, scoring seven goals and 26 points in the 128 games since -- resulting in Colorado declining to tender him a qualifying offer following the conclusion of the 2016-17 campaign. Gelinas has a huge shot and has proven to be a power play weapon in the past, so it's certainly within the realm of possibility for him to earn another NHL contract.

Canadiens' Eric Gelinas: Lands PTO with Habs
Eric Gelinas signed a professional tryout agreement with the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, TSN reports.The depth defenseman was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Avalanche, so he became an unrestricted free agent July 1. However, even with a change of scenery, it would be an extremely deep reach to go out and get Gelinas for your virtual squad; between the Devils and Avalanche, he's provided only 14 goals and 41 assists over 189 career games at the NHL level.

Avalanche's Eric Gelinas: Assigned to AHL affiliate
The Colorado Avalanche assigned Eric Gelinas to AHL San Antonio on Friday.The Avalanche waived Gelinas last Thursday, but decided to keep him with the big club after he went unclaimed. Tyson Barrie (lower body) has missed Colorado's last three games, but he appears to be nearing a return to game action, so the Avs are no longer in need of Gelinas' services as a seventh defenseman. The 25-year-old blueliner will likely remain in the minors unless Colorado is once again in need of reinforcements on the blue line later this season.

Avalanche's Eric Gelinas: Placed on waivers
The Colorado Avalanche waived Eric Gelinas on Thursday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.This move suggests Erik Johnson (leg) may be nearing a return to game action. The Avalanche may opt to keep Gelinas with the big club if he passes through waivers unclaimed, but with just one assist in 26 games this season, the blueliner remains safely off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Avalanche's Eric Gelinas: Stuck on single point this year
Eric Gelinas has just a lone assist in 23 contests this season.Often a healthy scratch, the rearguard has suited up for 10 of the Avs' last 13 games, but has failed to hit the scoresheet since Nov. 1 -- 20 games ago. With an average ice time of 11:35 and no redeeming statistical qualities, Gelinas is about as irrelevant as they come with regard to fantasy.

Avalanche's Eric Gelinas: Serves as healthy scratch Monday
Eric Gelinas will be a healthy scratch Monday against Vancouver.The rearguard suited up for the last four games but will again head to the press box after failing to record a point during that span. In fact, Gelinas has just a single assist in 17 games this season while averaging a paltry 12:17 of ice time for one of the league's worst teams, so it doesn't appear he'll be relevant for fantasy purposes anytime soon.
