Forward Ralph Cuddemi has been released from his tryout agreement and returned to Wichita. Forward Colin Larkin has been assigned by Edmonton to Wichita from Bakersfield. Defenseman Jared Wilson has been assigned by Bakersfield.

Larkin, 24, begins his pro career after playing the last four seasons for UMass-Boston (NCAA DIII).

Larkin, the brother of current Detroit Red Wing forward Dylan Larkin, signed a one-year agreement with the Oilers in the offseason.

Wilson, 24, got a taste of pro hockey last season as he joined the Toledo Walleye for their playoff run. A native of Calgary, Alberta, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound blueliner appeared in 10 games for Toledo after his collegiate career. He collected four assists and also skated in 10 playoff games.
