Oilers Sign Defenseman Foster, Re-Sign Fraser

The Edmonton Oilers have announced that they have signed defenseman Kurtis Foster to a two-year contract worth $3.6 million. The deal averages out to $1.8 million per season. The team has also announced that they have signed center Colin Fraser to a two-year contract worth $1.65 million, which averages out to $825,000 per season. He was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks on June 24 in exchange for a sixth round pick in the 2010 Entry Draft. Not bad depth signings for the Oilers, as Foster brings lots of offensive skill to the blueline, while Fraser gives the team some grit and energy at center.
