Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Drops to minors
The Senators reassigned Burgdoerfer to AHL Belleville on Sunday.
Burgdoerfer worked into three games during this NHL stint and added the necessary physical tough that was expected, dishing out 14 hits while averaging 10:11 per contest. The roster freezes in Dec. 19, so there's a good chance Burgdoerfer will stay in the AHL until after Christmas.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Bumps up a rank
Burgdoerfer was recalled from AHL Belleville on Sunday.
Burgdoerfer has played five NHL games over the last three seasons and has one assist to show for it. The Senators have four players on injured reserve and could use the depth, but fantasy owners shouldn't think about Burgdoerfer at this time.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Skips right back to minor league
Burgdoerfer was returned to AHL Belleville on Saturday,
Burgdoerfer was called up ahead of Saturday's 6-2 home win over the Sharks, but he didn't end up playing in that one. The American defenseman is merely an organizational depth option at this juncture.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Playing waiting game
Burgdoerfer has been called up from AHL Belleville, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports, adding that the defenseman likely won't play Saturday afternoon against the Sharks.
Even with blueliner Matt Lajoie (undisclosed) considered a game-time decision, Burgdoerfer isn't the first option to tag into the lineup if need be. Instead, that honor reportedly would go to Justin Falk, who signed a two-way deal Friday.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Demoted to bus league
Ottawa reassigned Burgdoerfer to AHL Belleville on Friday.
Burgdoerfer has been a healthy scratch for the Senators' last three games, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The veteran blueliner will return to a prominent role with AHL Belleville, where he's tallied two points in 10 games this campaign.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Promoted from minors
Burgdoerfer was called up from AHL Belleville on Thursday.
Burgdoerfer will likely compete with Nick Paul to see who gets into the lineup against the Sabres on Thursday. Through the first 10 games of the minor-league season, the 29-year-old defender notched one goal and one helper and is unlikely to offer much in terms of offensive production if he cracks the lineup.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Relegated to minor league
Burgdoerfer was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old defenseman snagged his first career point Tuesday evening, notching an assist in a 7-4 road win over the Lightning. A 29-year-old without a stable role in the NHL isn't going to warrant much attention from a fantasy perspective, so this news is more of an FYI to Senators fans.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Headed up to Ottawa
Burgdoerfer was recalled Monday from AHL Belleville, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.
Burgdoerfer has only skated in one game this season in the NHL, and although he didn't record a point, he was able to throw the body around and log three hits in 10:23 of ice time. In the minors this season the 29-year-old's notched 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 55 games and will likely serve as a depth defensemen during his time in the majors.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Sent back to minors
Burgdoerfer was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.
The move to package Burgdoerfer off to the minors could be an indication that Johnny Oduya (undisclosed) is nearing a return to the lineup. The 28-year-old Burgdoerfer saw action in just one game during his call-up, in which he logged 10:23 of ice time and registered three hits and two blocks. If the Pennsylvania native does get brought back to Ottawa again this season, it will likely be the result of an additional blue line injury.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Promoted to Ottawa
Burgdoerfer was brought back to Ottawa on Monday.
This was the one surprise the Senators made, as Burgdoerfer didn't previously spend much time on the ice and seems like more of a depth guy for the organization. But he will return to Ottawa, and his return might trigger a corresponding move in the near future.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Returned to AHL
Burgdoerfer was sent down to AHL Belleville on Friday.
This wasn't a surprise given that Burgdoerfer isn't a prospect and the NHL's All-Star Weekend has begun. He didn't get a lot of ice time in his debut with the Senators, and chances are that he'll spend most of what's left in the season playing for Belleville.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Called up from AHL
Burgdoerfer was promoted from the minors Monday.
Through the first half of the AHL campaign, Burgdoerfer notched three goals, seven helpers and 45 PIM. The 29-year-old has just two NHL games under his belt from his time with the Sabres organization last season. The Pennsylvania native will be making his debut with the Senators, if he slots into the lineup versus the Wild on Monday. The defenseman's promotion puts Ottawa over the 23-man roster limit, so expect a corresponding move soon.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Waived by Ottawa
The Senators placed Burgdoerfer on waivers Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Ottawa is stacked at defense, so Burgdoerfer was never considered to be a serious contender for an Opening Night roster spot. The 28-year-old American will probably remain in the minors for the entirety of the 2017-18 season.

Senators' Erik Burgdoerfer: Latches on with new club
Burgdoerfer signed a two-year, $1.3 million contract with the Senators on Saturday, TSN reports.
That's a high cost for an undrafted defenseman with just two games of NHL experience (with Buffalo) under his belt, but then again, players of his position come at a premium these days. Burgdoerfer is a decent passer from the back line, as evidenced by his 16 assists over 52 games with AHL Rochester in 2016-17.

Sabres' Erik Burgdoerfer: Sent down to AHL
Burgdoerfer was reassigned to the minors Thursday.
Burgdoerfer will head back to AHL Rochester after competing in two games for the Sabres in which he averaged 11:10 of ice time, registering two shots on goal and five hits. The 27-year-old's demotion is a good sign that one or more of Buffalo's four injured defensemen will be healthy enough to slot back into the lineup Friday.

Sabres' Erik Burgdoerfer: To make NHL debut Monday
Burgdoerfer, who was called up earlier on Monday, will dress against the Capitals.
Burgdoerfer will fill in for the injured Taylor Fedun (shoulder), who is considered day-to-day. The 27-year-old was signed to a one-year contract this past summer after toiling in the ECHL for five seasons and then the AHL for another two seasons. The New York State native is a minor league player who's getting his first taste of the big leagues due to sheer amount of injuries on the Buffalo blue line. He's expected to see limited ice time on the team's third pairing and offers little to fantasy value.

Sabres' Erik Burgdoerfer: Called up from minors
Burgdoerfer was recalled from AHL Rochester on Monday.
Burgdoerfer adds some much needed depth to a banged-up Buffalo blue line. Whether the 27-year-old makes his NHL debut Monday largely depends on whether Taylor Fedun (undisclosed) is able to give it a go. In 22 minor-league contests, Burgdoerfer has garnered seven helpers but has yet to bend the twine. If even he slots into the lineup, the defenseman will likely see limited minutes on the Sabres' bottom pairing.

Sabres' Erik Burgdoerfer: Pens deal with Sabres
Burgdoerfer agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way deal with Buffalo on Thursday.
Burgdoerfer, 27, has spent the last two years in the AHL following a five-year stint with ECHL Bakersfield. He will enter as a right-handed depth defenseman and begin the season with AHL Rochester. This is Burgdoerfer's first NHL contract, which marks a significant milestone for the Rensselaer alum, who is also a native of New York state. That he only managed to earn an NHL contract at age 27, however, shows the very limited upside he has, and has no value in fantasy until he shows he can compete in the NHL.
