General Manager Steve Tambellini announced today the Edmonton Oilers have agreed to terms with goaltender Devan Dubnyk and defenceman Jeff Petry on two-year contracts.

He was also a member of the gold-medal-winning Canadian team in the 2006 IIHF World Junior Championship. Dubnyk was Edmonton’s 1st round choice, 14th overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.

Petry, 24, played in 73 games last season with the Oilers recording 25 points (2G, 23A). He ranked first on the team in scoring for defencemen, reaching career highs in goals, assists, points and games played.

Petry is a STEAL at that price... arguably a better all around player than a guy like Carle, who just signed for $5.5...

That's about what I thought DD would get...
