Rotowire
Brooks was waived by Philadelphia on Wednesday.
In the likely event he passes through waivers unclaimed, Brooks will head to AHL Lehigh Valley for the start of the season. He picked up two goals through 21 appearances split between Winnipeg and Vegas last year and will likely have a similar role with the Flyers in 2022-23.

Flyers' Adam Brooks: Links up with Philadelphia
Rotowire
Brooks signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Flyers on Wednesday.
Brooks had quite the journey in the NHL last year, ending up in four different organizations after multiple times on waivers. He was limited to three points in 25 contests between the Canadiens, Golden Knights and Jets. The 26-year-old may not be safe from continued travels, but he could avoid being waived again if he performs well and earns a spot on the Flyers' Opening Night roster.

Jets' Adam Brooks: Expected to sit as healthy scratch
Rotowire
Brooks (undisclosed) is expected to be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's matchup with Detroit, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
Brooks has gone scoreless through 10 top-level appearances this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to track whether or not he's in the lineup on any given night.

Jets' Adam Brooks: Not expected to play
Rotowire
Brooks (undisclosed) isn't in the projected lineup for Saturday's game against LA, Sara Orlesky of TSN.ca reports.
Brooks will miss a second consecutive contest with his undisclosed issue. The 25-year-old forward has yet to record a point through 10 NHL appearances this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to keep tabs on his status.

Jets' Adam Brooks: Claimed by Winnipeg
Rotowire
Brooks was claimed off waivers by Winnipeg from Toronto on Friday.
Brooks has bounced around a lot this year, playing four games with Montreal and seven with Vegas. He also spent a day with the Maple Leafs before being waived. With just five NHL points since the start of 2019-20, Brooks doesn't figure to become fantasy relevant anytime soon.

Maple Leafs' Adam Brooks: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Brooks landed on waivers Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Brooks was claimed by Toronto off waivers Wednesday. The 25-year-old is being waived currently in hopes he will go unclaimed and can then be freely moved between the minors and majors, reports James Mirtle of The Athletic. Brooks has averaged 10:50 of ice time and generated three points over 11 NHL appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Adam Brooks: Claimed off waivers again
Rotowire
Brooks was picked up off the waiver wire by the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
Before Opening Night, Toronto waived Brooks, who has subsequently spent time with Montreal and Vegas over the course of the season. In total, the 25-year-old Winnipeg native has appeared in 11 NHL contests, registering two goals on five shots, one assist and eight hits. Even with his return to the Leafs, Brooks may struggle to crack the lineup with any regularity.

Golden Knights' Adam Brooks: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Brooks (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Tuesday, per James Mirtle of The Athletic.
Brooks has averaged 10:59 of ice time and tallied two points over seven appearances for the Golden Knights this season.

Golden Knights' Adam Brooks: Sent on conditioning loan
Rotowire
Brooks was sent to AHL Henderson on a conditioning loan Friday.
Brooks isn't dealing with an injury, but he's been a healthy scratch for nine of the Golden Knights' last 11 games, so he'll head to the minors for some much needed playing time. The 25-year-old pivot has picked up two goals in seven games since being claimed by Vegas on Nov. 17.

Golden Knights' Adam Brooks: Scores game-winner Friday
Rotowire
Brooks scored his second goal of the season in Friday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
His tally late in the first period held up as the game-winner. Brooks continues to spot in and out of the lineup as a depth piece for the Golden Knights, and since being acquired from the Canadiens in mid-November, he has two points (both goals) in seven games.

Golden Knights' Adam Brooks: Pockets first goal for new club
Rotowire
Brooks scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Nashville.
Playing in just his second game since being claimed on waivers from Montreal, Brooks knocked home a loose puck on the doorstep to give Vegas a 3-0 lead midway through the second period.

Golden Knights' Adam Brooks: Claimed by Vegas
Rotowire
Brooks was claimed off waivers by the Golden Knights from the Canadiens on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Brooks will provide Vegas with some much-needed depth at center with William Karlsson (foot) out long term. The 25-year-old Brooks has picked up four goals and five helpers through 22 games over the past three campaigns.

Canadiens' Adam Brooks: Waived by Montreal
Rotowire
Brooks was waived by the Canadiens on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
The Canadiens needed to waive Brooks in order to make room for Jonathan Drouin (head) on their roster. Brooks has picked up four goals and nine points through 22 NHL appearances over the past three seasons, so he could garner some interest from forward-needy clubs on the waiver wire. Otherwise, if he goes unclaimed, look for Brooks to report to AHL Laval.

Canadiens' Adam Brooks: Produces assist
Rotowire
Brooks notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
Brooks set up linemate Michael Pezzetta's first NHL goal at 16:25 of the second period. The assist was Brooks' first point in four contests this season, his first with the Canadiens. The Manitoba native has added six hits and a minus-1 rating while being limited to the fourth line, so there's not much to see here from a fantasy perspective.

Canadiens' Adam Brooks: Enters for injured forwards
Rotowire
Brooks had one hit and finished minus-1 over 10:17 of ice time in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Ducks.
Brooks entered the active lineup after the Canadiens' pregame announcement that neither Mathieu Perreault (eye) nor Brendan Gallagher (undisclosed) would play. They were soon joined on the sidelines by Cedric Paquette, whose night ended after four shifts and a boarding penalty that escalated to a game misconduct and a two-game suspension. That, along with the injuries, could pave the way for Brooks to be in the lineup Tuesday at home against Detroit. Sunday's start was his first in six games and just the second time he's been active this season.

Canadiens' Adam Brooks: Remains with big club
Rotowire
Despite a previous report from the Montreal Gazette that suggested otherwise, Brooks wasn't waived by the Canadiens on Thursday, per CBS.
Brooks, who was claimed by Montreal off waivers Monday, will remain with the big club for now. The 25-year-old pivot picked up four goals and five points through 11 games with the Maple Leafs last season.

Canadiens' Adam Brooks: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
The Canadiens placed Brooks on waivers Thursday, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.
It's a mildly surprising move, as Brooks was recently grabbed off waivers from Toronto. He was positioned to enter lineup after practicing for the first time with his new team Wednesday. Fourth-line center Cedric Paquette has won two of 13 faceoffs, and Montreal overall has been poor on draws, which seemed to open the door for Brooks, though that may not now be the case.

Canadiens' Adam Brooks: Picked up off waivers
Rotowire
Brooks was claimed off waivers by the Canadiens from the Maple Leafs on Monday.
Though Brooks has seen limited action at the NHL level (18 games), he has been rather productive in those appearances with four goals and four assists. How the 25-year-old Winnipeg native fits into the Habs lineup remains to be seen but he could relegate Jake Evans to a spot in the press box.

Maple Leafs' Adam Brooks: Designated for waivers
Rotowire
Brooks was placed on waivers Sunday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
The 25-year-old is something of a late bloomer at the professional level, but his five points in 11 NHL games last year (and 13 in 17 with AHL Toronto) suggest he could be ready for a full-time NHL role in the right scenario. Brooks also has 33 games of AHL playoff experience and 92 total AHL points in 164 career regular-season contests to his name after a wildly productive junior career. All told, fantasy managers in deep leagues should probably watch to see if Brooks is plucked from waivers by another team Monday, as this could lead to a more attractive fantasy situation than he currently has in Toronto.
