Overview
- Carolina claimed center Noah Philp on Dec. 29 after Edmonton waived him for AHL assignment following his LTIR stint for an upper‑body injury.
- The Hurricanes made a corresponding move by reassigning Bradly Nadeau to the AHL’s Chicago Wolves.
- Edmonton also placed David Tomasek on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract so he can return to Sweden with Färjestad BK.
- With Zach Hyman and Jack Roslovic back and Kasperi Kapanen nearing a return, Elliotte Friedman reports the Oilers are working to move out a forward to create flexibility.
- Andrew Mangiapane was a healthy scratch Monday, and Friedman reports he would consider waiving his no‑move protection for a bigger role with another team.
