The Edmonton Oilers season has been a disaster thus far, and after a quiet summer, one of their key acquisitions may be on his way out very, very soon.

A disappointing start for a veteran pickup

After another disappointing run in the playoffs, the Oilers stood still for most of the summer, with veteran forward Connor Brown being their biggest off-season acquisition.
Unfortunately, the team have now started 2-7-1, and Brown is yet to record a point in nine games, and now, the Oilers may have themselves a way out of the mess they made.

Time with the Edmonton Oilers done so soon

As reported, the contract the team gave Brown this summer came with a catch; after playing 10 games with the team, a bonus of $3.25 million would kick in, so what do the team do now?
C. Brown didn't play his 10th game today, which would kick in his 3.25 million dollar bonus.

Oilers will be 2-7-1, will they waive him?
There's not many options either internally or on the free agent market for the Oilers to look too right now, but Brown just hasn't made an impact this season, and if they waive him or trade him now, they will save themselves that money, so it seems like a no-brainer at this point.
