The Edmonton Oilers have agreed to terms with centre Marty Reasoner on a two-year contract.

Reasoner returns to the Oilers from the Boston Bruins, where he played the final month of the 2005-06 season following a trade for Sergei Samsonov on March 9th.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound centre scored a career-high 34 points, adding 28 penalty minutes, in 77 games with the Oilers and Bruins last season.

Reasoner will return to the Oilers for his fifth season in 2006-07. Originally acquired from the St. Louis Blues on July 1, 2001, Reasoner has scored 76 points in 197 games with Edmonton and has 99 penalty minutes. He has 131 points with 149 penalty minutes in 311 career NHL games since making his league debut with St. Louis in 1998-99

It's too bad that Edmonton has ended up the way they have. They end the season 1 win away from the Stanley Cup, and now look at their team.

Not saying Reasoner's a bad player or anything of the sort, jus tthat it would have been better to add him in to the team they had this past season then add him to this... well, kind of depleted line-up.
