The Oilers could use an extra body on the blueline with Darnell Nurse likely out until March after recently sustaining a serious ankle injury.

2018-07-01 analysis The Oilers bought out Gryba's previous contract which afforded the defenseman the opportunity to test the open market in free agency. There's nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective since the Canadian rearguard has only accumulated 43 points (seven goals, 36 assists) over 279 career contests, and it's far from a guarantee that he even starts the 2018-19 campaign in the NHL.
2018-07-01 update Gryba secured a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils on Sunday. The deal is worth $700,000 in the NHL and $300,000 in the AHL, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
2018-06-21 analysis The move will free up $600,000 in cap space for Edmonton for the 2018-19 campaign and push $300,000 to 2019-20. With the cap increasing to at least $79.5 million (up from $75 million), it seems like a relatively minor savings and likely speaks more to the fact that the 30-year-old only made 21 appearances for the Oilers last year. In 279 NHL contests, the blueliner has tallied seven goals, 36 assi
2018-06-21 update Gryba was waived unconditionally by the Oilers on Thursday in order to buyout his contract.
2017-12-29 analysis The Oilers activated Oscar Klefbom (undisclosed) off injured reserve in a corresponding move, so they're no longer in need of Gryba's services as a depth defenseman. If he goes unclaimed, the 29-year-old Canadian will be assigned to AHL Bakersfield.
2017-12-29 update The Oilers placed Gryba on waivers for the purpose of assignment Friday.
2017-12-03 analysis They were both assists, as Gryba found a way to finally get on the scoresheet in a 7-5 victory. The third-pairing blueliner doesn't offer much fantasy value outside his 31 PIM and strong hit totals, so look elsewhere if you need to add an offensive fantasy blueliner to your squad.
2017-12-03 update Gryba picked up his first two points of the season in Saturday's win over Calgary.
2017-11-20 analysis Considering his career high point total is just 12 -- which he registered while with Ottawa in 2014-15, fantasy owners probably shouldn't have gone into the season expecting much out of Gryba. In fact, over the course of the last two years with Edmonton, the blueliner has combined for three goals and nine helpers. Once Andrej Sekera (knee) is cleared to may his 2017-18 debut, the 29-year-old Gryba
2017-11-20 update Gryba has zero points in 16 outings this season, having last registered a point March 28, 2017.
2017-10-16 analysis Through four games, his 15:07 is the lowest average ice time of any team defender. He's reliably contributing hits, with 13 on the season so far, but there's little else you can depend on him for.
2017-10-16 update Gryba played a team-low 12:49 in Saturday's loss to the Senators. He did manage to give owners 14 penalty minutes, one shot, and five hits, however.

2017-10-05 analysis Gryba recently got a contract extension, but he may be the odd-man out once Andrej Sekera returns. However, Sekera's status isn't clear, so Gryba could be the sixth defender until November or December. Nonetheless, his ice time will be limited and his contributions won't be significant for most fantasy formats.
2017-10-05 update Gryba contributed two hits and two blocked shots to the cause in Wednesday's win over Calgary.
