It must be morally deflating to be literally traded for nothing.

Chase is better than nothing...

I thought the roster freeze was today, i guess it's tomorrow.

I see someone didn't read the fine print:

The NHL Holiday Roster Freeze officially goes into effect tonight across the league at 11:59pm local time, and is lifted on December 28 at 12:01am local time.

What does that mean?

Hes in the ECHL (PPG), the Oilers value the Contract spot over him. If they can sign a guy who can play top 6 AHL time, he would be a better filler than Chase

Nothing is better than Chase. Edmonton can now make a waiver wire pick-up without worrying.

Agreed!
