Acton was traded to the Canucks on Thursday in exchange for forward Kellan Lain. Acton was with the Oilers from the start of the season through the beginning of November, serving primarily as a healthy scratch for the team. The 27-year-old will offer some organizational checking line depth for the Canucks, but isn't likely to yield much fantasy appeal.

Acton cleared waivers and was reassigned to AHL Oklahoma City on Thursday. Acton has served primarily as a healthy scratch for the Oilers after making the roster out of training camp, appearing in only three games. He'll receive regular ice time in Oklahoma City, but he doesn't figure to make much of a fantasy impact in Edmonton if he earns his way back at some point.

Acton was placed on waivers by the Oilers on Wednesday. Acton was awarded the final roster spot out of training camp but has played in just three games and hasn't recorded a point. The 27-year-old could be claimed by other teams on waivers or will end up in the minors and await another opportunity.

Acton was added to the Oilers final roster, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports. Acton split time between Edmonton and AHL Oklahoma City. In 30 games played with the Oilers, he only scored three goals and two assists. Acton could be in a similar situation as last season where he was bouncing back and forth from the AHL, so don't expect him to have a huge fantasy impact.

The Edmonton Oilers have promoted Will Acton. Acton has two goals and three points in 23 games with Edmonton in 2013-14. The 26-year-old forward doesn't have much offensive upside at the NHL level.

Will Acton will head to the minors. Acton has three points and 14 penalty minutes in 23 games with Edmonton this season. The Oilers might recall him again at some point, but Acton isn't likely to be more than a bottom-six forward this season.

Will Acton was a healthy scratch on Sunday. Acton was the only healthy body in the press box as he was joined by Justin Schultz (groin) and Luke Gazdic (shoulder). Acton has two goals and three points in 16 games and is a plus-two on a poor Edmonton team.

Will Acton picked up a fighting major on Saturday when he battled Ryan Kesler. NActon's father Keith is an assistant coach with the Oilers and Canuck coach John Tortorella was jawing at him after the fight. It's nice when your dad has your back, especially in the NHL as most thought Tortorella should have kept quiet. Acton has no fantasy value as a bottom six forward.
