Oilers cut 14 players from training camp roster, place forward on waivers

The Oilers have already sent back 2 players from training camp to their respective junior teams, and now are continuing to slim down their roster to only include NHL candidates.

In a new statement released from the Oilers organization, training camp rosters cuts were made official. 13 players were sent back to the Bakersfield Condors, but one player will be placed on waivers.

These cuts are expected AHL players, with nothing surprising standing out. Players that at least remain at Oilers camp have made better impressions than this group.

Forward James Hamblin will be the only player that's eligible for waivers, and will need to clear before he can report to the Bakerfield Condors.

The 26 year old Edmonton-native Hamblin is a fringe AHL/NHL player, but has earned some real fans in Oil Country. Fans love to cheer for a local kid, but Hamblin also dedicated his first career goal to his late mother - a touching emotional moment.

Hopefully, Hamblin clears waivers and stays in the Oilers organization. He likely will, but the Oilers will officially find out in a few days time.
