Biega was traded to Nashville from Toronto on Monday for future considerations, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Biega has appeared in just two games for the Leafs this season, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to see significant opportunities with Nashville either. Still, the 33-year-old Biega has 243 games of NHL experience (four goals, 38 assists).

Red Wings' Alex Biega: Two helpers in Monday's loss
Rotowire
Biega recorded two assists in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.
The 33-year-old was placed on waivers by Detroit only last week, but after going unclaimed he found himself back in the lineup as the seventh defenseman Monday and made an impact.
