Smyth Trade Bait Gets 3 Year Deal From Oilers
April 14th, 2008 by Tom
Robert Nilsson, one of the young players the Islanders gave up last year in the Ryan Smyth trade, landed himself a three year, $6 million pact with the Oilers last week after tallying career highs in goals (10), assists (31) and points (41) in 71 games. The 23-year-old also led the Oilers with a +8.
Smyth, meanwhile, registered 14 goals and 23 assists in just 55 games with the Colorado Avalanche this season. He signed with the Avalanche following his brief stint with the Islanders last season.
