  • Oilers Sign Jordan Eberle To 6 Years $36 Million

    Oilers sign Jordan Eberle to 6-year extension - Yahoo! Sports

    EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -- The Edmonton Oilers signed forward Jordan Eberle to a six-year, $36 million contract extension Thursday.

    The move comes a little over a week after the Oilers signed forward Taylor Hall, Eberle's roommate, to a seven-year, $42 million extension.

    The 22-year-old Eberle, a 2008 first-round draft pick, still has a year to go on his entry-level contract. He had 34 goals and 42 assists in 78 games last season.

    ''Obviously me and Taylor want to be a part of this team for a while,'' Eberle said. ''That's why we signed this way. I think it signifies the young core of the group wanted to be here.

    ''We see the direction the team is going and that's in a forward direction. I think this year is definitely going to be a big year for us as far as developing our name as a team. Our success in the past couple of years hasn't been nearly where we want it to be and next year is going to be a huge stepping stone for us.''
