I like this signing for the Oilers. He's a player they know and should be able to use him effectively. He isn't a top pairing guy, but he will be more than sufficient on the second pair. For the Oilers, they are probably better off collecting a bunch of guys that can play in the 3-4 slots than try and force the issue and splurge for a guy that might be able to play in the #1 slot. Better balance and value in the lineup.
