Overview
- Swedish outlet Värmlands Folkblad reports Tomasek has returned to Sweden and is expected to sign with SHL club Färjestad BK.
- The Oilers will file waivers when the NHL holiday roster freeze lifts Sunday, enabling termination and a new SHL registration shortly after.
- Tomasek appeared in 22 games for Edmonton with three goals and two assists, averaged 10:46 of ice time, and was recently a healthy scratch.
- The termination removes his full $1.2 million cap hit, raising the Oilers’ usable space from roughly $612,500 to about $1.81 million while they manage LTIR.
- The 29-year-old previously starred for Färjestad, recording 57 points in 47 games last season and earning SHL MVP honors.
