Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Placed on waivers
Ryan was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of reassignment to the AHL, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Ryan was dealing with an undisclosed injury and started the season on the injured non-roster list. The 31-year-old has moved past his injury and will head to AHL Chicago if he clears waivers. Ryan last appeared in the NHL during the 2020-21 campaign with Carolina.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Placed on injured non-roster
Ryan (undisclosed) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.
Ryan has been away from the team in recent days due to an unspecified injury, and he'll be unavailable for the start of the regular season. It's not yet clear when he's expected to return to full health, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him sent to the minors once he moves past his injury.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Sidelined with undisclosed injury
Ryan is away from the team due to an undisclosed injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Thursday.
Ryan joined Carolina on a one-year, two-way deal in mid-July, but he's dealing with an injury ahead of the team's final two preseason games. Whether he'll be available for those matchups remains to be seen, but once he's healthy, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 31-year-old head to the minors.

The 31-year-old defender has four goals and 24 points in 145 career NHL appearances.

Ryan was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Ryan will be promoted to the Hurricanes' active roster and play Saturday versus Florida, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Dropped to taxi squad
Ryan was sent to the taxi squad Friday, CapFriendly reports.
Ryan made his first NHL appearance of the season and his Hurricanes debut in Thursday's game against the Panthers. Brady Skjei's (concussion) status for Saturday's rematch with Florida is uncertain so Ryan could be recalled to skate in a bottom-pair role again.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Playing Thursday
Ryan will be promoted to the active roster and play Thursday versus Florida, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Brady Skjei is in the NHL's concussion protocol, so Ryan could be in for an extended stay on the active roster. The 27-year-old blueliner is expected to skate on Carolina's third pairing against the Panthers.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Demoted to AHL
Ryan was sent to AHL Chicago on Monday, CapFriendly reports.
Ryan has been with the taxi squad all season and hasn't seen any action at the NHL or AHL levels. He should see some playing time in the minors before likely returning to the taxi squad at some point.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: On waivers Monday
Ryan was designated for waivers by the Hurricanes on Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
Ryan will almost certainly end up on the taxi squad, which will allow him to practice with the team, though he'll still need to be officially called up in order to get into a game. In 35 games for the Kings last year, the 27-year-old defenseman registered one goal on 54 shots, four assists and 24 hits while averaging 19:09 of ice time.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Inks two-way deal
Ryan signed a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Monday.
Ryan logged just 35 games for Los Angeles last season in which he registered one goal, four assists and 46 blocks while averaging 19:09 of ice time. The blueliner has seen his games played steadily drop each season to the point of having to accept a two-way contract. As such, the 26-year-old should be expected to spend some time in the minors this year, though he'll have a chance at making the 23-man roster during training camp.

Kings' Joakim Ryan: Hasn't played since February
Ryan's final game before the hiatus was Feb. 26 against the Penguins, as he played just 35 of Los Angeles' 70 contests this season.
Los Angeles likely doesn't see Ryan as part of its youth movement, so it seems like he could depart in free agency this summer. Given that he has just 24 career points in 141 games, he's someone you can safely ignore from a fantasy standpoint.

Kings' Joakim Ryan: Spends another game in press box
Ryan missed his second straight game Sunday, as he didn't play against Vegas.
Ryan is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year, and it seems likely the Kings don't see him in their long-term plans. He isn't a fantasy contributor anyway, so this shouldn't affect any owners.

Kings' Joakim Ryan: Plays big minutes in return
Ryan (undisclosed) skated 23:02 in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
Ryan had three shots on goal and a blocked shot in his 25 shifts. The defenseman missed 10 games with the injury, but he was immediately called on to fill the void in the absence of Drew Doughty (undisclosed). Ryan remains a non-factor in fantasy with just three points, 35 shots and 36 blocks in 28 appearances.

Kings' Joakim Ryan: Ready to return
Ryan (undisclosed) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Lightning, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.
Ryan has been sidelined for over a month with an undisclosed injury, but it doesn't appear as though coach Todd McLellan is planning on easing him in against Tampa Bay, as he's expected to skate with Alec Martinez on the Kings' top pairing Wednesday. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old American has only notched three points in 27 games this campaign, so he isn't a viable fantasy option.

Kings' Joakim Ryan: Shifts to IR
Ryan (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Ryan is eligible to return from IR at any point, but it's still unclear what's bothering the 26-year-old blueliner. His absence from Saturday's game versus the Predators opens up a spot for Alec Martinez to return to the lineup after missing 18 games with a wrist injury.

Kings' Joakim Ryan: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Ryan is considered day-to-day due to an undisclosed injury, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Coach Todd McLellan wasn't exactly clear on Ryan's recovery timeline, though it seems all but certain he will miss Saturday's matchup with Nashville. It's unclear if the blueliner was a healthy scratch for the past two contests or if his absence from the lineup was due to his injury. With Kurtis MacDermid set to have a hearing with the league, the Kings may need to promote a player from the minors in order to bolster their defensive depth.

Kings' Joakim Ryan: Gathers helper
Ryan recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.
Ryan had the secondary assist on center Michael Amadio's lone tally in the third period. The blueliner is now up to three points, 21 blocked shots and 20 shots on goal through 17 appearances this season. That low output makes Ryan a non-factor in the vast majority of fantasy formats.
