lmao why would they do this

I guess Yzerman knows him from Tampa

Oiler fans were pretty convinced he was signing with them.

Organization already knows him as he started his career there, plus the Yzerman connection in TB.

Not a bad cap hit and term, and the wings get some veteran presence. Not bad at all.
