Carolina takes him.
I'm not sure what the Oilers are doing with their bottom six. They have all these zombie veteran forwards who get nothing done, and then they allow Tomasek to go back to Europe and now they lose Philp on waivers.
It's worth noting we have MAX JONES on the roster still. Curtis Lazar continues to centre our fourth line. Henrique has given us a steady diet of nothing all year. Janmark has scored on a goalie only twice I think in the last two seasons.
I understand that the coach doesn't like to take a lot of risks in the bottom half of the roster, but this is taking things to an extreme level. It's just foolish to expect your top two lines to win you every game. We have such high skill up there that they've got us close to a Cup two years in a row, but ultimately, you need contributions from all four lines. The Oilers haven't seemed to understand that for 15 years.

Yeah Philp was better than Jones and Lazar.. .. Philp could PK and was decent at it.. also quicker.
Claimed by Hurricanes.. lets you know what smart analytics guys think about Philp
