Edmonton Oilers News (June 15th 2011)
"Oilers sign prospects"
The Oilers have signed four of their prospects to entry-level deals, namely Magnus Pääjärvi-Svensson, Anton Lander, Olivier Roy and Bobby Mignardi. Swedes Pääjärvi and Lander were the 1oth and 40th overall picks of the 2009 draft and have signed 2 year entry level deals ending in 2013. Pääjärvi will make .575M per year if playing in the NHL, while Lander signed a .475M deal. Where the two forwards will play next season depends on their performance at training camp, but it is expected that they will see both NHL and AHL action throughout the course of the season. Goaltender Olivier Roy also signed a two-year two-way deal, worth .475M, and is expected to play a role with the Springfield Falcons next year. Forward Bobby Mignardi was a 6th round pick in 2009, and signed a contract worth .475M for the next two seasons. Mignardi is odds on to play for the Falcons, unless he surprises everyone by taking a bottom 6 role in the pre-season.

Oilers look to 2011 draft
In other news, the Oilers prepare for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft which is coming up in a few days. The Los Angeles Kings won the draft lottery and will pick first, while Edmonton have the 21st overall pick. "We will see" answered GM Kowalski on if he was prepared to trade up or attempt to acquire another first rounder. It is widely believed that the Oilers are shopping several players, including Gilbert, Grebeshkov, Visnovksy, Cogliano and O'Sullivan. The accuracy of these reports, however, remain debatable. In any case, it looks as if captain Ethan Moreau will not be re-signed, nor does it appear Edmonton will qualify RFAs O'Marra, Deslauriers, Stone, Stortini or Pitton.
