Depth Chart July 2009

Found July 04, 2009 on Lowetide:
PLAYERS: Nikolai Khabibulin,  Devan Dubnyk,  Bryan Pitton,  Dany Sabourin,  Lubomir Visnovsky,  Sheldon Souray,  Tom Gilbert,  Denis Grebeshkov,  Steve Staios,  Ladislav Smid,  Jason Strudwick,  Theo Peckham,  Taylor Chorney,  Cody Wild,  Alex Plante,  Shawn Horcoff,  Sam Gagner,  Andrew Cogliano,  Gilbert Brule,  Ryan Potulny,  Rob Schremp,  Tim Sestito,  Dustin Penner,  Ethan Moreau,  Liam Reddox,  Ryan Stone,  Chris Minard,  Geoff Paukovich,  Ales Hemsky,  Robert Nilsson,  Fernando Pisani,  Steve MacIntyre,  Jordan Eberle,  Colin McDonald
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers,  Pittsburgh Penguins

I imagine the Oilers will shore up the position with a signing/waiver pickup similar to last season's acquisition of Dany Sabourin.

Oilers Rookies and MacT: EV/60 points-per-game

Via Lowetide  |  July 05, 2009
