The Edmonton Oilers have made a significant move by placing center Noah Philp on waivers, making him available for other teams to claim. Philp, who joined the Oilers organization in 2022, has been working hard to establish himself as a reliable option on the team's roster. In recent appearances, he struggled to find consistent ice time, which likely contributed to this decision.
This move comes as the Oilers look to streamline their roster and make room for players who can contribute more effectively to their playoff aspirations. General Manager Ken Holland has been active in seeking ways to improve the team's performance, especially given the competitive landscape of the Western Conference.
Philp's time with the Oilers may not have been what he envisioned when he signed, but the opportunity to be claimed off waivers could provide him a fresh start with another NHL franchise. If he goes unclaimed, he will likely report to the Bakersfield Condors of the AHL, where he can continue to develop his skills and potentially earn another chance in the NHL down the road.
