Oilers Make 20 Roster Cuts

The Edmonton Oilers have made 20 roster cuts, bringing their roster down to a more workable number.

The cuts include forwards Anton Lander, Chris VandeVelde, and Jeff Petry, as well as defensemen Martin Marincin and Dillon Simpson.

The Oilers are likely to slot Petry into their lineup, as he has an "enormous" upside, according to Chris VandeVelde. Lander has struggled in North America, so it's reasonable to expect that he will be sent down to the minors.

The Oilers now have a more manageable roster, which should help them to improve their performance on the ice. The team is looking to make a playoff run this season, and these roster moves should help them to achieve that goal.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Oilers roster as they prepare for the start of the regular season.
