The Edmonton Oilers signed Khabibulin to a US$15-million, four-year contract on Wednesday, July 1, 2009.

The Edmonton Oilers are turning to another veteran goaltender. Edmonton signed 36-year-old Nikolai Khabibulin to a four-year, 15-million deal on Wednesday. He'll replace 39-year-old Dwayne Roloson, who signed earlier in the day with the New York Islanders. Khabibulin is a former Stanley Cup winner who spent last season with the Chicago Blackhawks.
