Fear The Worst fans can breathe easy on this one.
As long feared, expected, or gawked -- depending on your fan perspective -- former New York Islanders goalie Anders Nilsson is returning to North America and will get another shot at the NHL.
The 25-year-old goalie, traded by the Islanders to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Nick Leddy trade, has been acquired by the Edmonton Oilers for an afterthought prospect (Liam Coughlin, an overager drafted in the fifth round of 2014). The news isn't that Nilsson's rights are now with his third NHL organization; rather, it's that his new organization has reportedly already signed him to a one-way NHL deal worth $1 million.
