Edmonton released Demers from his professional tryout Monday.

Demers will join the Oilers for training camp on a professional tryout agreement, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Demers last played in the NHL back in 2020-21 when he was with the Coyotes. In 41 appearances with the club, the 34-year-old blueliner notched four assists and 44 shots but failed to find the back of the net. Considering Demers's last goal came back in 2018-19, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of him even if he does earn a contract with Edmonton.

Demers inked a one-year deal with AK Bars (KHL) on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Demers hasn't played overseas since the 2012-13 campaign with Karpat. Still, with no interest from NHL teams this offseason, the 33-year-old defenseman will give the KHL a shot. This likely marks the end of the Quebec native's 12-year NHL career which will see him eventually retire having logged 699 games for San Jose, Arizona, Dallas and Florida in which he garnered 45 goals and 169 assists.
