News and Notes
Jul 16 The Oilers inked Horcoff (shoulder) to a six-year contract extension on Wednesday, the Associate Press reports.

Recommendation: Horcoff was entering the final year of his contract, but the Oilers didn't want to risk losing him in free agency. "Shawn has proven himself as one of the premier players in the National Hockey League and has been, and will continue to be, an integral part of our organization moving forward," Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe said. "By being proactive with this deal, we avoid being in a situation where Shawn could become an unrestricted free agent after next season and the unknown free agency can bring to the organization. Having him under contract long term is something that has been on our radar for a long time, and we are extremely pleased to finalize this deal." Horcoff dealt with shoulder problems last season and only appeared in 53 games for the Oilers. Despite injury problems, Horcoff averaged close to a point per game with 21 goals and 29 assists. Not considered an elite fantasy center, Horcoff should treat his owners well as a second or third option in the middle.
