Lavoie looked pretty good too. Would be unfortunate if he got claimed. Remember, Oilers can only keep 22 players to be cap compliant. Just 1 extra D and 1extra forward. My guess is Niemo and Erne.

Missed that Niemelainen is hurt. So we can't move him to the AHL. May be why Gleason is being waived.

Looked at capfriend just now, we have to do 21 players, don't we? I think we are over the cap with 22. So may end up with 12 forwards and 7 D. 7th being the injured Niemo we can't move to the AHL until he's healthy.
