Nicklas Grossmann: Placed on unconditional waivers
Grossman was placed on waivers Saturday for the purpose of terminating his contract, Elliotte Friedman of HNIC reports.
Friedman speculates that Grossman could be exploring the idea of playing overseas. This news isn't likely to cause a stir in fantasy circles as Grossman only played in four games with Calgary and struggled in a bottom-six role, going scoreless with a minus-4 rating.

Grossmann was assigned to AHL Stockton on Wednesday.
Grossmann went unclaimed through his waiver period and will now head to the Flames' minor league affiliate on assignment. The 31-year-old blueliner recorded a minus-4 rating over three games played for the big club and will likely only be recalled if the team is in need of back end depth.

Flames' Nicklas Grossmann: Placed on waviers
Grossman was waived by the team Tuesday, Craig Morgan of AZ Sports reports.
Grossman has played in a mere three contests for the Flames this year, so it should come as no surprise the team opted to waive him. In those appearances, the veteran was minus-4 and recorded three shots on goals and seven hits. If he clears waivers, the blueliner will likely be reassigned to AHL Tucson where he can taken on a mentorship role for the organization.

Flames' Nicklas Grossmann: Not playing much this season
Grossman has only suited up for two of the Flames' 11 games so far this season, failing to register a point.
This isn't much of a surprise, as Grossman joined the Flames on a tryout contract and signed a one-year deal at the tail end of training camp. He's been a healthy scratch as their seventh defenseman most nights and won't likely make any fantasy waves this season, as the 11th-year NHLer has only managed 35 points over his last three campaigns combined.

Flames' Nicklas Grossmann: Secures one-year deal with Flames
Grossman signed a one-year, one-way contract with the Flames on Tuesday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports. The deal is valued at $575,000.
Grossman had been on a PTO with the Flames, evidently impressing management enough to stick around for this season. The big rearguard had only produced 86 points (13 goals, 73 assists) in 589 career games between the Stars, Flyers, and Coyotes, respectively.

Flames' Nicklas Grossmann: Signs PTO with Calgary
Grossman inked a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with the Flames on Wednesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet reports.
Grossman has spent the last seven seasons with Dallas, Philadelphia, and most recently, Arizona, where he tallied seven points over 50 games during the 2015-16 campaign. At six-foot-four, 230 pounds, the rearguard displays good puck-handling for a guy his size and is trusted on the ice as evidence by his average 17-plus minutes of ice time over his NHL tenure. If he gets signed to a long-term contract, he figures to find his role somewhere behind veteran blueliners T.J. Brodie and Mark Giordano.

Coyotes' Nicklas Grossmann: Back for regular-season finale Saturday
Grossman (personal) will be in the lineup for the season finale Saturday night against host San Jose.
Grossman had been with his family to welcome a child into the world. The Swedish veteran is a tank on the ice at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, providing his team with a shutdown presence on the back end. Still, he can largely be ignored in fantasy circles since he has just seven points in 57 games.

Coyotes' Nicklas Grossmann: Out again Tuesday
Grossmann (illness) will miss Tuesday's contest against the Jets, The Winnipeg Sun reports.
Grossmann had been held out of the last two games as well as he dealt with the illness, and though it's considered just a day-to-day issue, it appears Arizona will play it cautiously and hold him out once again.

Grossmann netted his third goal of the season in Sunday's high scoring 4-5 loss to Carolina.

Coyotes' Nicklas Grossmann: Available to play Wednesday
Grossman (lower body) will be available to play Wednesday against the Ducks, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.
The initial plan was to reevaluate Grossman on Wednesday morning, but it appears as though that will no longer be necessary, as general manager Don Maloney told reporters Tuesday that Grossman will be available for Wednesday's matchup with Anaheim.
