Maple Leafs' Matt Read: Inks PTO with Leafs
Matt Read signed a professional tryout offer with the Leafs on Friday, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.Read spent the majority of the 2018-19 campaign in the minors, notching 16 goals and 37 points in 61 games with AHL Iowa, but he also made 12 appearances at the NHL level with the Wild, scoring one goal over that span while averaging 11:45 of ice time per contest. The 33-year-old hasn't eclipsed the 20-point mark since 2015-16, so even if he makes Toronto's roster, it's highly unlikely that he'll have any fantasy value.

Matt Read is still with the Minnesota Wild after clearing waivers and will suit up against the Golden Knights on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.By waiving Read, the club gave itself some roster flexibility, but Zach Parise's (lower body) continued absence from the lineup will keep Read in the NHL for the time being. Once Parise is cleared to play, however, Read should find himself making the trek down to AHL Iowa.

Wild's Matt Read: Hits waivers
The Minnesota Wild placed Matt Read on waivers Thursday.Read drew into the last three games for the Wild as a fill-in for some of the injured forwards, but he'll likely head back to the minors with some of the regular forwards nearing a return. Considering the veteran winger tallied just one point (a goal) over 10 NHL contests this season, there's little upside for him from a fantasy standpoint at this stage of his career.

Wild's Matt Read: Emergency call-up
Matt Read was summoned from AHL Iowa under emergency conditions Wednesday.Read wore out his welcome in Philadelphia, and he's been used sparingly with Minnesota since penning a one-year deal with the club in July of 2018. While he's produced 15 goals and just as many assists through 49 games for Iowa, Read's only averaged 11:32 of ice time through six top-level games this season. As a result, he shouldn't be relied upon for fantasy playoff action.
