Inks overseas deal
Vatanen agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Swiss club Geneve-Servette on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Vatanen split last season between New Jersey and Dallas after being claimed off waivers by the Stars in April. In total, the 30-year-old blueliner appeared in 39 games in which he tallied just six points. Given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players should be impacted by his move away from the NHL.

Vatanen signed a one-year contract with the Devils one week before the season, bringing him back to the team with which he has played the majority of the past three campaigns. In that span, the Finn has dressed for 154 games with New Jersey, scoring 68 points, 26 of which came with the extra man. Vatanen should continue to feature on the power play, but New Jersey's poor play at even strength limits his upside and will likely lead to another poor performance in the plus-minus department -- he's a minus-29 over the past two seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could fit with Isles or Oil
The Islanders and Oilers are two possible suitors for Vatanen, according to Luke Fox of Sportsnet.
ANALYSIS
Vatanen remains unsigned as an unrestricted free agent, but he could fit with either New York or Edmonton. Both teams value experience on the blue line, so Vatanen would have appeal as a depth option for either one, even though the 30-year-old Finn's offensive production has slipped substantially in recent seasons.
