Edmonton Oilers claim Travis Dermott off the waiver wire to address their lack of depth on left defence.

The 28-year-old came to the Oilers last September on a professional tryout (PTO), already known to coach Kris Knoblauch and teammates Connor McDavid and Connor Brown during their time together with Erie Otters a decade previous .

The Oil may have the option of sending the player directly to Bakersfield , if it turns out they were the only NHL club to submit a claim.
