PrintUpdate: Via Jim Jamieson it's a one year, two-way for 605k/105k.
********************
Murph brings the succinct news that Oreo is back for at least this coming season. Terms haven't been disclosed yet, but we'll post that as soon as it's made public.
My favorite player to do a google image search on his last name (NSFW sometimes) played in 16 games last year, averaging 7:54 TOI, notched three assists and added eight PIMs. He played 19 post season games averaging 6:21 TOI, no points, -6 and 12 PIMs. As a fourth liner he got fed to the wolves by virtue of his underlying zone starts and Fenwick numbers, but he has experience playing in the Vigneault system, doesn't seem to abandon plays for the big hits and seems fairly responsible for his few minutes per night.
Oreskovich joins (inhale) Maxim Lapierre, Byron Bitz, Mike Duco, Mark Mancari, Steve Pinizzotto, Andrew Ebbett, Aaron Volpatti, Steve Anthony, Darren Archibald, Bill Sweatt, Steve Begin, Owen Nolan and Todd Fedoruk (exhale) as fourth liners auditioning for the roster as training camp draws closer.
In the meantime, enjoy Oreo decking Andrew Ference.

I’m hoping Oreskovich sees more minutes and responsibility this year. Maybe some time on the third line or (limited) second (as injuries warrant). I was impressed with his healthy combination of size and speed during the playoffs—wanted to see more of both in games, frankly—and he played a pretty sensible and disciplined game.
I assume Lapierre is already penciled in as the fourth-line center. I would also think Oreskovich is a lock. And if Nolan shows any legs, you have to figure he’ll stick. That would give the team two fourth-line wingers who can move up the depth chart.
If Nolan has anything left, I’d be fine with that fourth line. If it’s anything like last year the bruisers will get to be cycled in easy enough anyway (probably better to do so to keep Nolan fresh).

Think about this
With everyone healthy, we have a top nine of
Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
MayRay-Kesler-Samuelsson
Higgins-Malhotra-Sturm
So it’s totally possible that a guy like Higgins/Hansen could be on the 4th line as well once everyone is back

I assume Parise would move Sammy back, yes? :)

Obivously
I can’t believe I forgot about that

Hansen over Higgins IMO.
Hell, I’d take either over Samuelsson.

I won't be around, maybe if Missy or Sean is? Failing that put a fanpost up CC and I'll frontpage it.

Sunday / Monday
I assume that they are doing the same with Canucks.com as last year though, and all the games will be there.

Good signing.
it’s Oreskovich’s lowest possible cap hit for a 1 year deal – 605k is his RFA qualifying offer. Two way is a plus for the Aquilinis.
they should totally
trade Evander Kane to us for a bag of pucks
