Sykora signs one-year deal with Oilers

TSN.ca Staff

The Edmonton Oilers have signed free agent forward Petr Sykora to a one-year contract.

Before confirming the deal, Sykora underwent an MRI on his groin on Friday which was followed by the announcement at a news conference in Edmonton.

The unrestricted free-agent forward scored 23 goals with 51 points for Anaheim and the New York Rangers last season. He could be relied upon to fill the void left by Sergei Samsonov, who signed with the Montreal Canadiens.

The 29-year-old was traded by the Ducks in January to the Rangers for Maxim Kondratiev and a 4th round pick in 2007.

Sykora was part of the 2000 Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils.



On the international stage, Sykora has represented the Czech Republic on several occasions, including the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

The Czech Republic native joins a top-six forward unit that includes Ryan Smyth, Shawn Horcoff, Ales Hemsky, Jarret Stoll and newly acquired Joffrey Lupul, who remains unsigned as a restricted free agent.

Speaking of Edmonton, why are they the only NHL team not to have an affiliate (or at least co-affiliate) in the AHL?

They are co-affiliated with Montreal for the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Back in 2005 they had the Toronto Roadrunners until the team was suspended. So they were partially affiliated with the Bulldogs this year. However they don't have a sole minor league team yet.

Oh, ok...apparently the list I was looking at is a little outdated. I think there are 3 AHL teams that have 2 NHL parent teams...I wonder how they work that out...
