Oilers sign KHL forward Jere Sallinen to entry-level contract

The Edmonton Oilers have added another body to their mix up front, coming to terms on a one-year, entry-level pact with Finnish winger Jere Sallinen.

Sallinen, a sixth-round draft pick of the Minnesota Wild in 2009, scored eight goals and contributed 19 points in 50 games this season with Jokerit of the KHL.

Though he doesn't offer much offensive upside, Sallinen does possess edge. He led Jokerit with 79 penalty minutes.
