Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers weren’t shy about making moves of their own. They placed goaltender Olivier Rodrigue, defenseman Josh Brown, and forwards Raphael Lavoie and Drake Caggiula on waivers in order to assign them to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors. They also sent Noah Philp down to the Condors on Sunday. It’s all part of the team’s strategy to fine-tune their roster and make sure they have the best possible lineup for the upcoming season.
