Upshall was released from his professional tryout by Edmonton on Monday.
Considering the wealth of young forward depth the Oilers have, it shouldn't come as a shock to see the veteran cut loose ahead of the season. The 34-year-old may struggle to find a new landing spot, which could mean the end of his professional career. If this is it, the winger would retire with 138 goals and 147 assists in 759 NHL contests.
