Grebeshkov, 24, posted three goals and 15 assists for 18 points with 22 penalty minutes and a plus-2 rating in 71 games this season, his first with Edmonton.

He logged an average of 16 minutes 52 seconds in ice time.

Grebeshkov has totalled three goals and 24 points with 42 penalty minutes and a minus-14 rating in 104 NHL games since he was drafted 18th overall by the Los Angeles Kings in 2002.

Edmonton acquired him from the New York Islanders for defenceman Marc-Andre Bergeron and a third-round draft pick on Feb. 18, 2007.

Grebeshkov is the third player in two days to re-sign with the Oilers.

Defenceman Tom Gilbert inked a six-year, $24-million US pact, while forward Robert Nilsson received a three-year, $6-million US deal.
