Most, if not all of these players won’t see any action during the rest of Edmonton’s postseason action but will be staying ready in case injuries warrant them suiting up.
I expect the Edmonton Oilers to make three additions before next Friday’s trade deadline, and I believe those will be two forwards and a defencemen for their playoff push.
The Edmonton Oilers might be gearing up for some last-minute roster adjustments, according to insider Allan Mitchell, aka Lowetide, of The Athletic. With the next 24 hours potentially being crucial, the Oilers are reportedly considering a trade reminiscent of the Klim Kostin and Dmitry Samorukov deal from the previous season.
With the completion of pre-season the Edmonton Oilers have placed goaltender Calvin Pickard, defencemen Phil Kemp and Cam Dineen, and forward Brad Malone on waivers to be reassigned to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors.
This week we continue our season reviews with players that are on the bubble of whether they should be considered prospects. Cam Dineen came to the Oilers organization as part of the Nick Bjugstad trade, a deal that saw the departure of a very good prospect in Michael Kesselring left the Condors short-staffed on defence.
A trio of black aces are on their way to Edmonton. The Oilers announced Wednesday night they had recalled forward Brad Malone and defencemen Markus Niemelainen and Cam Dineen from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors, who were eliminated from the playoffs last year.
On Sunday afternoon, the Edmonton Oilers announced they signed defenseman Cam Dineen to a one-year, two-way contract extension. The 24-year-old was acquired alongside Nick Bjugstad at this year’s trade deadline in exchange for Michael Kesselring and a 2023 third-round pick.
The Edmonton Oilers signed former third-round pick Cam Dineen to a one-year contract extension.
Both Tyler Benson and the newly-acquired Cam Dineen will be eligible to hit the open market as unrestricted free agents this summer. As CapFriendly noted on Wednesday morning, Benson and Dineen are among the group of players who are set to reach Group 6 status following the conclusion of the 2022-23 season.
Bjugstad, 30, collected 13 goals and 23 points in 59 games with the Coyotes this year. He’s under contract through the end of the 2022–23 season at a $900,000 NHL cap hit.
The Arizona Coyotes re-signed forward Christian Fischer and defenseman Cam Dineen to one-year deals Monday. Terms were not disclosed. Fischer, 25, tallied 10 points (five goals, five assists) in 53 games in his sixth season with the Coyotes in 2021-22.
Another coronavirus outbreak is starting in the NHL, this time affecting the Arizona Coyotes.
Dzingel has had injury issues all season, and because of that, he hasn’t found stability in the lineup.
