  • Hurricanes' Ondrej Kase: Being evaluated for concussion

    Kase is going back to Raleigh so he can be evaluated for a potential concussion, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

  • Hurricanes' Ondrej Kase: Links up with Canes

    Kase signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

    Kase was unqualified by the Maple Leafs after posting 27 points in 50 contests, though that was more due to budget concerns than performance. The 26-year-old will link up with his fourth team in the last four years, and he's likely to slot into a third-line role for the Hurricanes. He had eight points on the power play last year, but it's unclear if he'll get the same opportunity in Carolina.

  • Maple Leafs' Ondrej Kase: Won't make trip

    Kase (concussion) will not join the Leafs for their upcoming three-game road trip, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.

    Kase -- who remains on long-term injured reserve -- will miss a minimum of four contests due to this latest news, having already been on the shelf for the Leafs' previous 14. Once given the all-clear, Kase should be in the mix for a spot in the top six, where he could be capable of producing solid top-half fantasy value. In the meantime, Pierre Engvall is one of several players to get a look on the right side of the second line.
