The Edmonton Oilers are bringing defenseman Eric Gryba back to training camp on a professional tryout, TSN’s Ryan Rishaug confirmed Tuesday.
The right-handed defender entered the free agency market in July, but never reached a solidified NHL job. He was offered a PTO with Edmonton but was unsure of whether or not he would return to the team.
Gryba is a solid defender to have in the top six and is a capable right-hand shot. The 6-foot-4, 228-pound blueliner also maintains a lot of physical ability and was one of the Oilers’ better players this past season.
