Griffith was waived Tuesday for the purpose of sending him to AHL Bakersfield.
Griffith generated 17 goals and 60 points in 72 minor-league games for the Condors last season. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. The 30-year-old forward has eight goals and 11 assists in 80 career NHL contests.

Oilers' Seth Griffith: Headlines call-ups
Rotowire
Griffith was among seven players recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday. In addition to the winger, Edmonton brought up Dylan Holloway, Philip Broberg, Markus Niemelainen, Brad Malone, Stuart Skinner and Dmitri Samorukov, Tom Gazzola of TSN.ca reports.
Griffith saw action in just one NHL game this year but was fantastic with the Condors, racking up 80 points (fourth best in the AHL) in 64 games, including 30 goals. If that level of production wasn't enough to see the 29-year-old elevated to the NHL roster, fantasy players probably shouldn't be baking on him becoming a full-time NHL option any time soon.

Oilers' Seth Griffith: Returns to AHL
Rotowire
Griffith was assigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday.
Griffith recorded just over five minutes of ice time and a plus-1 rating in his lone NHL appearance. With the Condors this season, the right-winger has recorded 18 points through his 18 appearances. He will look to continue to earn a name for himself in the minors until another opportunity in the NHL presents itself.

Rotowire
Griffith was called up from AHL Bakersfield on Friday.

Oilers' Seth Griffith: Hits waivers Sunday
Rotowire
Griffith was waived by the Oilers on Sunday.
Unsurprisingly, Griffith wasn't able to win a job out of training camp. The 28-year-old winger figures to spend most or all of the season with AHL Bakersfield if he clears waivers. He hasn't played in the NHL since he logged 21 games with the Sabres in 2017-18.

Oilers' Seth Griffith: Placed on waivers
Rotowire
Griffith was placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday.
Griffith has been productive at the minor-league level with 139 points in 173 contests over the last three years. That hasn't translated to many looks in the NHL, as he's been out of hockey's top league since 2017-18. Should injuries arise, Griffith could find himself with the Oilers' taxi squad later in the year.

Oilers' Seth Griffith: On training camp roster
Rotowire
Griffith is participating in Edmonton's training camp.
Griffith hasn't played in the NHL since 2017-18, but he's been highly productive in the minors, racking up 52 goals and 87 assists in 173 games over the past three campaigns. Nonetheless, at best, he'll have to settle for a spot on the Oilers' taxi squad, so he won't be a viable fantasy option this year.

Oilers' Seth Griffith: Heads to Edmonton
Rotowire
Griffith signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Friday.
Griffith hasn't played an NHL game over the last two seasons, but he's been quite good in the minors, recording 37 goals and 61 assists over 127 games. He's a longshot to make the Oilers' roster out of training camp, but he could get an opportunity with the big club if injuries surface.

Jets' Seth Griffith: Lands with Jets
Rotowire
Griffith inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Jets on Wednesday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
The deal is worth $700,000 at the NHL level and $300,000 at the AHL level, but the latter number will likely be more relevant to Griffith's future. The 26-year-old hasn't suited up in the NHL since 2017, but led the AHL's Manitoba Moose in scoring last season with 57 points.

Jets' Seth Griffith: Lands on waivers
Rotowire
Griffith was designated for waivers by Winnipeg on Friday in order to reassign him to AHL Manitoba, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Griffith is currently on his fifth team over the last two years and still trying to earn a consistent spot on an NHL roster. Since breaking into the league in 2014-15, the 25-year-old has played in 79 games, tallying eight goals and 11 helpers. The center should be on coach Paul Maurice's short list of potential call-ups throughout the season.

Jets' Seth Griffith: Secures two-way deal in Winnipeg
Rotowire
Griffith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Jets on Sunday, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
Griffith had another remarkable season in minors, mustering 41 points in 46 games for AHL Rochester. As a result, the Sabres gave him a shot, but the 25-year-old posted just two goals and one helper with the big club. Griffith's shiftiness may cover up his size -- 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds -- in the minors, but he'll need further improvements to make a 23-man roster.

Sabres' Seth Griffith: Bound for AHL
Rotowire
Griffith (upper body) was assigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday.
Griffith had been battling an upper-body injury recently, but his assignment to the AHL indicates he's healthy and ready to contribute. The 25-year-old winger has notched just three points (two goals, one assist) over 21 games at the top level after posting a second consecutive impressive campaign in the AHL. Although he's yet to put it together with the big club, he may continue to receive opportunities if he produces in the minors.

Sabres' Seth Griffith: Scratched Thursday
Rotowire
Griffith (upper body) will be among the scratches for Thursday's game against the Maple Leafs, the Sabres' official site reports.
Griffith will miss his third straight matchup because of the upper-body ailment, though there is no guarantee he would be in the lineup even if healthy. Considering he owns just three points (two goals, one assist) through 21 contests this season, his return shouldn't be of much concern in most fantasy leagues.

Sabres' Seth Griffith: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Griffith (upper body) took in Tuesday's skate, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Griffith has missed the past two games and should be available Thursday against the Leafs. Whether he plays or not is a different question; through 21 games this season he's scored just two goals and three points, averaging a little over 10 minutes per game with spot duty on the man advantage. He is a depth forward who has very little fantasy value.

Sabres' Seth Griffith: Out with upper-body injury Thursday
Rotowire
Griffith will not play Thursday against the Senators due to an upper-body injury, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
Griffith drew into three of the Sabres' four contests since his promotion, but he failed to tally a point and owns just three (two goals, one assist) through 21 appearances this season. He's fared much better at AHL Rochester with 34 points in 36 games, but there's nothing to suggest he will be a consistent contributor at the top level anytime soon.

Sabres' Seth Griffith: Rejoining parent club
Rotowire
Griffith is in the process of being recalled from AHL Rochester on Tuesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
Hoppe elaborates that Kyle Okposo's wife has gone into labor, so it looks like Griffith will be on hand in case Okposo is unavailable for Wednesday's road game against the Lightning. Either way, it's difficult to trust a skater whose playing time at the highest level depends on the status of more established forwards. Besides, he's accrued only three points through 18 games with the Sabres this season.
