Tomas Jurco has signed a new contract with the Edmonton Oilers.

Why

At worst an AHL player, but would have liked a Barber, Carr or Pirri signing a lot more. Jurco has the ability to be 20-25 pt player if things work out for him but it’s a long shot

Because with Jurco the Oilers will win the cup

Well he did turn it on for the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL during their playoff run, so maybe he still has a bit left for another go at the nhl. Not sure but maybe he benefited from playing with the Canes young star Necas? Either way, he might give the oilers a bit of depth scoring or he goes and pumps their farm team with some offense so their young prospects can learn to be winners.

Would have preferred a Pirri or Carr, but maybe they wouldn't sign with the Oilers at such a friendly contract.

One of the better tweener wingers available who, after winning the Calder Cup, may be feeling a level of confidence missing from his game. He was dangerous in the games in the TOR-CHA series I was at, and certainly could be a sneaky good pick-up for Holland (who knows Jurco from having drafted him of course).
