General Manager Steve Tambellini announced today the Edmonton Oilers have agreed to terms with goaltender Yann Danis on a one-year contract.

Danis, 31, played in 43 games with the Oilers main affiliate, the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League, posting a 26-14-2 record with a 2.07 GAA, .924 save percentage and five shutouts.

The 6’0”, 185-pound Lafontaine, QC native was awarded the Aldege “Baz” Bastien Memorial Award as the AHL’s outstanding goalie this past season and was also selected to the First Team All-Star Team.

He etched his name into the Barons record books twice. His five shutouts is the most in the brief two-season history of the Barons. He also owns the individual record for consecutive shutout minutes by a Barons goaltender at 173 minutes 16 seconds.

Arguably the best third string goaltender in the world... AHL goalie of the year last year..

Mark my words - by the end of the season, he is playing in Edmonton and NK has cleared waivers and is in OKC.
