Hey there! I just read about Derek Ryan clearing waivers and the potential end of his time with the Edmonton Oilers. It's always tough to see a veteran like him possibly moving on, especially after being a solid contributor in the past. The Oilers have such a deep forward lineup right now, and it makes sense that they want to give younger players like Noah Philp a chance to shine.
Ryan has had a commendable career, and if this is indeed his last season, he deserves all the recognition for carving out a role in the league well into his late 30s. It's a testament to his work ethic and adaptability. I think he could still be valuable in a playoff push if injuries hit, but the reality is that teams are always looking to the future.
What do you think about the Oilers' depth and their approach to the trade deadline? Do you see them making any big moves, or are they more likely to stick with what they have?
