Yesterday the Nashville Predators claimed Tyson Jost, and today there is another long list of players on waivers as we roar towards the end of the preseason.

Simon Benoit was a full participant for the first time.

Trade:

To #Oilers: G Connor Ingram
To @utahmammoth: Future considerations

Ingram is being sent to AHL Bakersfield. Utah is retaining $800k of the $1.95 million that Ingram is owed this season.

This was odd, as they just signed him this summer after some years in the KHL. I guess it didn’t work out:

There are two RFAs left unsigned. Alexander Holtz in Vegas – he’s mostly playing in the AHL at the moment – and Luke Evangelista in Nashville – that one makes no sense, and they should trade him if they aren’t going to ever make a deal with him.

Marlies training camp got underway:

The prospects are back prospecting:

Took no time for Miro to get back into the swing of things! 😤
