In a bold and potentially game-changing move, the Edmonton Oilers have made headlines by deciding to send four players down to their AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors. The players in question are Calvin Pickard, Phil Kemp, Cam Dineen, and Brad Malone, and their fate now hangs in the balance as they hit the waiver wire.
This decision comes with an element of risk that has the hockey world buzzing with anticipation. The waiver wire is a unique avenue in the NHL where any team can claim a player for free, provided they are willing to take on the player's contract. This means that the Oilers are rolling the dice, hoping that these players will clear waivers and join the Condors, but there's no guarantee.
