Brandon Prust: Released from PTO
Brandon Prust was released from his professional tryout agreement Monday, Jim Cerny of Sporting News reports.Prust was brought in by Los Angeles back in August but will now return to the free agent pool. After playing 35 games with Vancouver during the 2015-16 campaign, Prust was out of the league last year and will need to prove that he's worthy of a regular-season roster spot elsewhere.

Kings' Brandon Prust: Hoping to earn contract
Brandon Prust will join Los Angeles on a professional tryout agreement, Jon Rosen of LA Los Angeles Kings Insider reports.After failing to secure an NHL deal heading into the 2016-17 campaign, Prust spent the year with DEL Nuremberg , where he tallied three goals and five helpers in 29 outings. If the winger can land a permanent gig with the Kings, he's unlikely to be anything more than a depth option watching from the press box more often than not.

Brandon Prust: Will not yet be signed
Brandon Prust will not be offered a permanent contract prior to Opening Night, but will continue practicing with the team, Mark Masters of TSN reports.While it seems most likely Prust would sign with the Maple Leafs, he is now a free agent and could sign with any NHL team will practicing with Toronto. It is unclear what the future holds for the winger, but in terms of fantasy value, owners may want to avoid utilizing him until something more concrete regarding his status is announced. The 32-year-old was held to just 35 contests last season due to injury, which should be another red flag.

Maple Leafs' Brandon Prust: Ready for training camp
Brandon Prust should be ready for training camp after saying an ankle injury sustained last season is "feeling back to 100 percent," Bruce Bennett of TheHockeyNews.com reports.Prust was limited to a career-low 35 games in 2015-16 due to a lingering ankle ailment but it appears that an offseason of rest and rehab has brought the 32-year-old left winger back to full strength. Prust has apparently been working with Leafs' skating coach, Barb Undersell, to refine his stride as he works out lingering kinks from the injury. Prust has not eclipsed the 20-point mark since the 2010-11 season and figures to provide depth at forward during his first campaign with Toronto.

Maple Leafs' Brandon Prust: Joins Toronto with PTO agreement
Brandon Prust (ankle) inked a professional tryout agreement with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail reports.Prust missed the last 38 games of the 2015-16 season for the Canucks due to an ankle injury and ultimately suited up in a mere 35 contests. In those outings, the veteran compiled just seven points but did add 59 PIM and 40 hits. If he makes the team in Toronto, it will be for his gritty, aggressive style of play rather than his scoring ability. Unless you need ancillary stats, fantasy owners will want to look elsewhere for a low-cost winger.

Canucks' Brandon Prust: Done for season
Brandon Prust will shut it down and begin rehabbing for next season due to a lingering ankle injury, Ben Birnell of the Utica Observer-Dispatch reports.Prust was reassigned to AHL Utica in early February, but was thought to be a potential recall for some playoff depth if needed. The 31-year-old tallied one goals and six assists in nine games for the Comets which matched his production with the Vancouver Canucks this season, albeit in 35 contests. In terms of fantasy value, the winger is definitely low-end as he has broken the 20-point mark only once in his NHL career.
