I just got word from Wanye who's on the road from Calgary: the Oil just signed Bobby Nilsson to a three-year deal worth $5.5 million total. Talk radio's all over this one, I guess.

The 23-year-old has had a decent Oilers career: 74 GP 11-31-42.

Lowe's really lockin' 'em down...

** TSN has the skinny on both Gilbert and Nilsson here.

Bingofuel is the handsome cyborg who pulls all the levers behind the curtains of the OilersNation. When he isn't running the site, he's plugged into a wall socket, recharging. Or Brownlee and Wanye are playing "keep away" with him. He gets little to no respect.

I heard Brownye and some callers bad mouthing Penner & Pitkanen again yesterday. Ho-Hum. Maybe KLowe should just ask them for their approved list of players. This could save Robin alot of lost sleep and save the Oil from suffering under his withering displeasure. I am in favor of having some patience with these players as well as the coaches. If you are a pro-MacT guy you have to believe he deserves a chance to develop these players.

$5.5M for 3 yrs for Nilsson is a good deal.

Way to get some of these RFAs done up right.
