Overview
- Edmonton announced Sunday that center Noah Philp was placed on waivers for assignment to AHL Bakersfield after being activated from long-term injured reserve.
- David Tomasek’s unconditional waivers were made official Sunday, with contract termination expected Monday as he returns to Sweden to sign with Färjestad BK, per prior reporting.
- The Oilers previously suspended Tomasek without pay after he left the club, creating a roster spot and providing cap relief.
- Philp, 27, has two goals and one assist in 15 games this season in a fourth-line role, posting strong faceoff results at 56.9% but poor 5-on-5 metrics.
- Waiver claims are due by 2 p.m. ET on Monday, Dec. 29, and Philp could draw interest given his league-minimum, two-way, expiring contract.
