Overview
- Edmonton announced it will waive forward David Tomasek on Sunday, once the NHL roster freeze ends, to mutually terminate his contract.
- Swedish outlet Värmlands Folkblad reports Tomasek has returned to Sweden and is expected to sign with Färjestad BK after he clears waivers.
- Terminating the deal would remove his $1.2 million cap charge and, per cap tracking cited in reports, lift the Oilers’ available space to roughly $1.8 million.
- The 29-year-old logged three goals and two assists in 22 games for Edmonton, averaging 10:46 in ice time, with his last appearance on Dec. 13.
- Coverage attributes his exit to limited opportunity after early-season usage, with reports noting he seeks more ice time and a potential 2026 Olympic look with Team Czechia.
