The Edmonton Oilers have signed goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin to a 4 year, $15 Million dollar contract.
The ‘Bulin Wall’ finished last season with 25 wins, 8 losses and 3 shutouts, considered a very good campaigne by most. At 36 years old, Khabibulin has assured that he has job security for the next four years, and the Oilers are getting a very good goaltender in return.
Fantasy Outlook: Moving from the Blackhawks to the Oilers will put a dent in his fantasy value. The Oilers failed to address their lack of scoring, which decreases Khabibulin’s value based on wins and losses. Kabby will ultimately be the top guy in Edmonton for his tenure, and if Edmonton can create more of a goal scoring presence, his value will rise.
