In a recent twist in the NHL roster shuffle, the Edmonton Oilers announced the termination of Joakim Nygard's contract. This move came as the league's roster freeze concluded, allowing teams to reassess their lineups.

As the season progresses, franchises are looking to make necessary adjustments, and players like Daniel Sprong, who was waived by the Seattle Kraken, are now seeking opportunities with other clubs.

General managers are under pressure to fine-tune their rosters, ensuring they are equipped for the playoff push. With many notable players on the waiver wire, it will be interesting to see how this affects trades and acquisitions in the upcoming weeks.
