The Oilers Sign Tom Gilbert to Six Year Contract: Who Will Be The Odd Man Out?

http://nhlbusinessblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/oilers-sign-tom-gilbert-to-six-year.html

The Edmonton Oilers have reportedly signed rookie defenceman Tom Gilbert to a six year contract worth... Gilbert was a restricted free agent and the team would have been liable to lose him to an offer sheet...The Oilers were definitely smart in locking him up... this year's unrestricted free agent market is very weak.... it looks very unlikely that they will be able to bring the entire team back
