Mark Spector: The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Riley Sheahan to a one-year deal worth $900,000.
- Mark Spector: “It is still unknown whether Riley Sheahan can play third line minutes in EDM. More likely a fourth-liner C on a good team. But his faceoff work — 53.2% over past two seasons; 54.9% last season; 50.6% lifetime — is what EDM dearly requires. Esp on the PK.”
- Jim Matheson: “Ongoing situation with Brodziak (back) may have something to do with signing of Sheahan, who will be given a shot at 3C or 4C spot in camp.
