The Carolina Hurricanes he claimed 27-year-old center Noah Philp off of waivers from the Edmonton Oilers.
Philp, 27, has played in 15 games so far this season with the Oilers, but most notably is a right-handed center with size.
"I can't tell you too much on him, but we've been looking for that for a while," Brind'Amour said on acquiring a righty.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound forward has registered two goals and three points in that span and also has won 57% of the faceoffs he's taken and has put up 24 hits.
Over his professional career, Philp has appeared in 30 NHL games (2g, 5pts) and 130 AHL games (38g, 72pts).
Philp could be a decent depth bet for the Canes, as the team has been searching long and hard for a right-handed faceoff man.
There is no current timeline for getting Philip to Raleigh, as he'll need to acquire a U.S. work visa prior to suiting up for the team.
