Oilers Re-Sign Dubnyk, Jacques, Add Belle

The Edmonton Oilers have announced that they have re-signed goaltender Devan Dubnyk to a two-year contract worth $1.6 million and re-signed left wing Jean-Francois Jacques to a one-year contract. The team also announced that they have signed free agent defenseman Shawn Belle to a one-year, two-way contract. Dubnyk's deal averages out to $800,000 per season, while the financial terms of Jacques and Belle's contracts were not disclosed. Not bad depth signings for the Oilers, as Dubnyk has lots of size and the potential to become a starting goaltender, while Jacques plays with lots of grit and toughness. Belle is a very physical defenseman, but his lack of NHL experience will likely keep him in the minors for most of next season.
