EdmontonOilers: #Oilers agree to terms with defenceman Mark Fayne on a four-year contract and winger Benoit Pouliot on a five-year contract.

FriedgeHNIC: Pouliot is 4$M AAV

Two good signings. Pouliot is overpaid though.

Jeez, 5 years at 4 per for a bottom six guy like Pouliot?

With any luck Dave Nonis is having cell phone problems right now.

Too long a deal for him, too. He's not a guy you commit to long-term.

No doubt, Stralman and Niskanen are going to get paid.

Fayne's contract is $14.5M total - so, $3.625M per. That's right about where he should be.

I thought someone would give him 4+ though.  So that's a decent signing for Edmonton.  Maybe this is the year they don't draft in the top 5?

That's a lot for Pouliot, who's a good 3rd line player, but considering what they gave Gordon, not really surprising.
