Golden Knights' Tanner Laczynski: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Laczynski was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Laczynski had a strong preseason with his new club, but he'll have a better chance at an opportunity if he is claimed on waivers. The 27-year-old signed a two-year contract with Vegas in July, and he'll head to AHL Henderson if he clears the waiver wire. Laczynski produced 44 points in 49 regular-season appearances with AHL Lehigh Valley in 2023-24.

Golden Knights' Tanner Laczynski: Impressing in preseason
Rotowire
Laczynski scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche.
Laczynski hasn't played in the NHL since 2022-23, when he drew into 32 games for the Flyers. He spent 2023-24 with AHL Lehigh Valley before signing a two-year contract with Vegas this summer. The 27-year-old is in competition to be an extra forward, but with five points over four preseason contests, his play could be strong enough to prevent Vegas from signing tryout forward Tanner Pearson to a full contract.

Flyers' Tanner Laczynski: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Laczynski was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury Tuesday. He's considered week-to-week, per Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
With Laczynski facing some absences, it wouldn't be surprising to see Nicolas Deslauriers slide over to the fourth-line center spot with Max Willman entering the lineup against Washington on Wednesday, although that will depend on Cam Atkinson's (upper body) health. Another update on Laczynski, who's notched four points through 19 games this season, should surface once he's cleared to resume skating.

Flyers' Tanner Laczynski: Grabs two-year pact
Rotowire
Laczynski inked a two-year, $1.525 million deal with Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Laczynski's deal will be two-year during the first year of the contract, so fantasy players should expect him to continue spending the bulk of the 2022-23 season in the minors, though it converts to a one-way contract in the second year. If the 25-year-old center does get called up periodically this year, he will likely slot into a bottom-six role, where he figures to make a minimal fantasy impact.
