I wouldn't be surprised if Demers got a 2-way deal. He hasn't made the team on merit but he's a decent insurance policy at least until Desharnais is healthy.

I don't think he's on the roster for day 2 though, he isn't a better option than Nemo or Broberg.

Frank Seravali's reporting that he's remaining with the Oilers on a PTO with Bakersfield per Twitter.

Personally, I'd play Broberg big minutes in Bakersfield, and have Nemo/Demers as the 7th in an 11-7 deployment. Demers experience, and Nemo's hitting, depending on the opponent, would IMO give the biggest bang for buck.
