Oilers Re-Sign Theo Peckham, Add Yann Danis

The Edmonton Oilers have announced that they have re-signed defenseman Theo Peckham to a one-year contract worth $1.075 million and signed free agent goaltender Yann Danis to a one-year contract. The financial terms of his deal were not disclosed. In 71 games last season with the Oilers, Peckham had three goals and 10 assists for 13 points and 198 penalty minutes. Danis appeared in 31 games last season with Amur Khabarovsk of the KHL, posting an 8-17-3 record, two shutouts, a 3.05 GAA, and a .910 save percentage. He last played in the NHL during the 2009-10 season with the New Jersey Devils. Peckham is a good signing for the Oilers, as he brings some stay-at-home qualities to the blueline. He also brings lots of grit and physical play to the team's defense. Danis is really just a depth signing for the Oilers and will likely play most of next season with Oklahoma City of the AHL.

Devils Sign Goaltender Danis to One-Year Contract

The New Jersey Devils announced that they have signed goaltender Yann Danis to a one-year contract worth $550,000. Danis appeared in 31 games last season with the New York Islanders, posting a 10-17-3 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .910 save percentage. He also played in 10 games last season with the Islanders’ AHL affiliate in Bridgeport, posting a 7-3-0 record with a 2.26 GAA and a .924 save percentage. This is an okay signing for the Devils, as they were looking to sign a solid, affordable backup goaltender to play only a handful of games behind Martin Brodeur. Danis will give the Devils adequate goaltending depth, but don’t expect to see him playing a lot of games, as Brodeur is once again likely to play in almost every game of the season.
