Vandy signs with Oilers

I am kind of surprised it took as long as it did to get Chris VandeVelde signed, during last Tuesday's show on Coming Down the Pipe, VandeVelde said his agent was working on the contract and it was supposed to be done in the next couple of days. None the less VandeVelde is now moving on to the next stage of his hockey career. Here is the official announcement from the Oilers.

The Oilers remained busy on Monday as they also signed NCAA prospect Chris Vande Velde.

The 23-year old Vande Velde will report to the Oilers' AHL affiliate in Springfield this weekend. The University of North Dakota product was chosen in the fourth round, 97th overall by the Oilers in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. In 43 games for the Fighting Sioux this season, the Moorhead, Minnesota native had 18 goals and 17 assists.
