However, this means that the Oilers are going to have to reconfigure their roster in order to accommodate Perry's contract.
As a result, Adam Erne has been placed on waivers today by the Oilers after missing practice this morning with the team.

Erne has just 1 goal and 1 assist in the 23 games he has played in for the Oilers. He is on a League minimum deal for 1 year with the team.
