The Oilers have placed Eric Gryba on unconditional waiver for the purpose of buying out his contract.

Gryba was entering his final season of a two-year, $1.8M contract but spent half of last season in the AHL. The 30-year-old defenseman recorded just three goals and 11 assists (14 points) in 114 games with the Oilers over the last three seasons.

The Oilers signed Eric Gryba to a two-year contract extension on Tuesday.

Gryba, 29, had two goals and four assists (six points) in 40 games for the Oilers last season and with the Edmonton blueline improving, he will likely serve as a seventh defenseman again in 2017-18.
