Erne was released from his professional tryout agreement with the Rangers on Tuesday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Erne is expected to report to AHL Hartford where he is expected to participate in training camp on a minor-league professional tryout. Considering even the organization's minor-league affiliate won't sign Erne to a contract without seeing him first, it seems unlikely the Connecticut native will be making an NHL appearance this year.

Rangers' Adam Erne: Trying out for New York
Rotowire
Erne signed a professional tryout agreement with the Rangers on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Erne will attempt to make the Blueshirts after appearing in 24 regular-season contests with the Oilers in 2023-24, where he registered just two points. The 29-year-old would most likely compete for a spot on New York's fourth line, as their top-nine forward group appears to be set. Over the course of his career, Erne has amassed 41 goals and 50 assists in 379 appearances.

Oilers' Adam Erne: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Erne was placed on waivers Tuesday to reassign him to AHL Bakersfield.
Erne became the odd man out when the Oilers decided to sign free agent Corey Perry. The 28-year-old Erne does have 378 games of NHL experience, so one of the other 31 NHL teams may decide to put in a claim. Assuming he clears, Erne will end up back with AHL Bakersfield where he previously played four games this season.

Oilers' Adam Erne: Pots goal in comeback win
Rotowire
Erne brushed twine in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
The fourth-line winger has just nine shots on goal through 13 games, but Erne was able to net his first goal as an Oiler on Thursday thanks to a slick wrist shot on a breakaway chance. Prospect Dylan Holloway (lower body) is expected to return soon, and he is a threat to steal playing time from Erne, so the latter would certainly benefit from more performances like the one he had against the Devils.

Oilers' Adam Erne: Pockets assist
Rotowire
Erne recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.
Erne helped out on James Hamblin's goal in the second period as the Oilers got a rare fourth-line contribution. The helper was Erne's first point in 11 appearances this season, though he's been a regular in the lineup lately, playing in five of the last six games. He's added six shots on net, 25 hits, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating, but his lack of offense will keep him off the radar in fantasy.

Rotowire
Erne was recalled by Edmonton on Wednesday.

Red Wings' Adam Erne: Finishes challenging season
Rotowire
Erne finished the season with eight goals and 10 assists through 61 games.
Erne wasn't involved on the power play in his fourth season with the Wings, but he averaged 1:37 on the penalty kill and amassed a career-high 55 blocked shots to go with 160 hits. Still, it wasn't the smoothest campaign for the American winger, as he was waived in February and returned to the AHL for the first time in five years, appearing in nine games for the Griffins. The 27-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Red Wings' Adam Erne: Playing time decreasing
Rotowire
Erne hasn't played since Monday, as he's been rendered a healthy scratch the past two games.
Erne is losing playing time to Jonatan Berggren, a rookie who's being utilized on the No. 2 power-play unit. However, established winger Tyler Bertuzzi can't seem to stay healthy this campaign -- most recently, he left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury as a precaution -- and Erne is a logical choice to step in as necessary for Saturday's clash with the Flyers.

Red Wings' Adam Erne: Building point streak
Rotowire
Erne scored in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.
Erne has points in back-to-back games as he continues to be a sneaky third-line producer. His current shooting percentage (16.7) is a career-best mark, but the limiting factors are that he's averaging only one shot per game and is disassociated from the power play.

Rotowire
Erne notched an assist, four hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

He's up to eight points, 14 shots on net, 52 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 17 contests while mainly playing on the third line.
