Returned to AHL Lagesson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

Brought up from minors Lagesson was summoned from AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

Impact Lagesson's recall doesn't bode well for the availability of Simon Edvinsson (lower body) for Monday's matchup against San Jose. The 28-year-old Lagesson has two goals and five points in 11 AHL outings this season. He will be an option to play versus the Sharks but could serve as a healthy scratch.

Placed on waivers Lagesson was placed on waivers by the Red Wings on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Lagesson signed a one-year contract with the Red Wings on Monday but will be let go ahead of the regular season. He made a career-high 40 regular-season appearances between Toronto and Anaheim last year, tallying four points and 58 blocked shots while averaging 14:48 of ice time. If he clears waivers, he'll likely begin the season in the AHL.

Inks one-year deal Lagesson signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Red Wings on Monday.

Impact Lagesson had four assists, a plus-3 rating, 32 PIM, 76 hits and 58 blocks in 40 regular-season contests between Toronto and Anaheim in 2023-24. He'll be in the mix for a roster spot during training camp, and there's a decent chance the 28-year-old will begin the campaign with the Red Wings.

No points for Anaheim Lagesson didn't record a point in 10 appearances with the Ducks after he was claimed off waivers from the Maple Leafs.

Impact Lagesson got shuffled out of a crowded defense corps in Toronto and couldn't claim a full-time role in Anaheim. At 28 years old and with just 11 points to his name over parts of four seasons, there's no guarantee Lagesson will get an NHL deal this summer as an unrestricted free agent. Even if he does, he'll likely have to settle for a two-way contract.

APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Anaheim Lagesson was claimed off waivers by Anaheim on Friday, per Brennan Klak.

Impact Lagesson played 30 games with Toronto, registering four assists and 56 hits. The 28-year-old will look to sharpen his game with an Anaheim team that's rebuilding and won't make the playoffs. He will likely be with the big club right away.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for waivers Lagesson was placed on waivers by Toronto on Thursday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lagesson could still be in action versus the Bruins on Thursday unless Jake McCabe (illness) is cleared to play, so a likely demotion to the minors may have to wait until Friday. Once the newly acquired Joel Edmundson can get onto the ice with Toronto, Lagesson's services will no longer be needed at the NHL level.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Lagesson (upper body) will return to the Maple Leafs' lineup Thursday versus the Golden Knights, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Lagesson is also set for top-four minutes, as he'll be paired with Morgan Rielly. The 28-year-old Lagesson missed two games with the upper-body injury. He has just three assists and nine shots on net to go with 46 hits, 33 blocked shots and 19 PIM over 25 appearances.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Could play Monday Lagesson (upper body) is "day-to-day" and has a chance to play Monday versus St. Louis, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact It was initially reported that Lagesson would miss time after leaving Saturday's game, though it now appears the injury isn't as serious as originally feared. If Lagesson can suit up against the Blues, it would be a big boost to a Toronto defensive corps currently ravaged by injuries. The 27-year-old Lagesson has three assists while averaging 14:21 of ice time through 25 games this season.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss time Lagesson (upper body) will miss time with the injury he sustained Saturday versus the Ducks, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact The Maple Leafs' already shaky defensive depth will be tested further with this news. Lagesson could be a candidate for injured reserve to free up a roster spot in the coming days, though it's unclear who will take his place in the lineup.
