Golden Knights' Tomas Jurco: Deemed fit ahead of training camp
Rotowire
Jurco (hip) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp Jan. 3, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
Jurco underwent hip surgery back in March and appears to be back to full fitness after signing with the Golden Knights during the offseason. The 27-year-old winger will likely find himself watching from the press box for opening night and could struggle to find a place in the lineup. Without a clear path to minutes, Jurco won't offer much in terms of fantasy value this year.

Rotowire
Jurco (hip) signed a one-year, $700,000 pact with Vegas on Saturday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Rotowire
Jurco had hip surgery and will aim to return in late March, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Rotowire
The Oilers placed Jurco on waivers Thursday, Ryan Rishaug of TSN.ca reports.

Rotowire
Jurco has been healthy scratched in the last three games.

Oilers' Tomas Jurco: Mired on fourth line
Rotowire
Jurco has gone without a point in his last six games.
The 26-year-old winger has added a minus-1 rating and four shots on goal in that span, after opening the year with helpers in consecutive games.

Oilers' Tomas Jurco: Records second helper
Rotowire
Jurco supplied an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Jurco set up James Neal's fourth goal of the contest in the third period. The 26-year-old winger now has an assist in both of his games this season. He's listed on the second line, but he only skated 10:50 in Tuesday's game, and his skillset is likely better suited to a bottom-six role after spending all of last year in the AHL.
