Today the Oilers announced they'd placed both Mike Smith and Oskar Klefbom on long-term injured reserve.
At this time it's expected that both Smith and Klefbom's careers are over. It was noted earlier this summer that both Smith (undisclosed) and Klefbom (shoulder) failed their physicals.
The moves will allow the Oilers to exceed the salary cap by $6,367,000 this year.
