The Edmonton Oilers Have Announced an Under-The-Radar Signing

The Edmonton Oilers made an under-the-radar signing on July 2, adding defenseman Ben Gleason to a two-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 per season at the NHL level.

The 25-year-old left-shot defenseman from Ortonville, Michigan, has been an underutilized depth option throughout his career. Gleason will likely start the upcoming season with the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL but will aim to earn an opportunity in the Oilers' lineup.

With a solid junior career in the OHL and consistent play in the AHL, Gleason brings a two-way style of play and creates internal competition for the Oilers' blue line. It's a low-risk, high-reward signing that benefits both sides.
