The bad news is that injured forwards Gilbert Brule and Kyle Chipchura and injured defensemen Rostislav Klesla and David Schlemko will not.

JASPER - Edmonton Oilers centre Gilbert Brule cleared waivers Tuesday and will report to their AHL farm team in Oklahoma City.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Waiver Move
Gilbert Brule has been waived. Ditto for Josh Green, Ryan Keller and Ryan O'Marra.
No immediate fantasy hockey value while on waivers.
He’s also been on the wing where he can use his shot, but the coaches like him better in the middle as a fourth-line possibility. It’s the one roster spot that is pretty fluid right now. Is it Brule?
Following a poor offensive showing last season, Brule will need to earn a job on a checking line in Edmonton. Don't expect him to reach his numbers of two seasons ago as he will have very limited offensive minutes if he makes the team.
He says he’s hale and hearty as he starts his third Oilers’ training camp, and he’s never felt healthier at 185 pounds.
After a lost season, Brule looks to regain the scoring touch that produced 17 goals in 65 games during the '09-'10 campaign. In deeper leagues he could be a sleeper should he light the lamp in the preseason/early regular season.
Ryan Smyth is headed back to Edmonton, in exchange for winger Gilbert Brule and a fourth-round draft pick.
