Date Transaction

Jan. 31 Oilers place left winger Ethan Moreau on the NHL Injured Reserved List after he sufffered a badly sprained right ankle while playing basketball.  There is no word on how long Moreau might be out of the lineup.
Jan. 26
Spacek
Salmelainen
Oilers acquire defenceman Jaroslav Spacek and a conditional draft pick from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for left winger Tony Salmelainen and a conditional pick.

Spacek, who is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, has scored 7-17-24 with 72 PIM and a +8 rating in 45 games with Chicago this season. 

Salmelainen is playing for SM-Liiga in Finland this season, and has scored 22-19-41.
 
Jan. 26
Oilers acquire defenceman Dick Tarnstrom from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for defenceman Cory Cross and left winger Jani Rita.

Tarnstrom, who is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, has scored 5-5-10 with 52 PIM and a -10 rating in 33 games with Pittsburgh this year.

Cross has scored 2-3-5 with 38 PIM and a -5 rating in 34 games with the Oilers this year.  He had fallen out of favour with the fans due to his lack if foot-speed and frequent giveaways in his own zone, and had dropped behind rookie Matt Greene on the Oilers' depth chart.

Rita, who never could work his way out of Craig MacTavish's doghouse, scored 3-0-3 with 6 PIM in 21 games with the Oilers this season.

DECEMBER, 2005
Date Transaction
Dec. 20 Oilers recall left winger Brad Winchester from the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.  Winchester has scored 11-5-16 with 53 PIM in 17 games with Hamilton so far this year.  He has yet to score a point in seven NHL games with Edmonton.
Dec. 19 Center Krys Kolanos is re-claimed off waivers by the Phoenix Coyotes, ending his six game tenure with the Oilers.  Kolanos, who was acquired via waivers back on Nov. 11, had no points and 2 PIM with the Oilers. 
Dec. 19 Oilers place right winger Radek Dvorak on the NHL Injured Reserve and recall defenceman Matt Greene from the Iowa Stars of the AHL.
Dec. 13
Evans
Oilers acquire forward Blake Evans from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for future considerations. 

Evans, who has scored 4-7-11 with 35 PIM in 26 games with the Peoria Rivermen of the AHL, will remain with the Blues’ American Hockey League affiliate.  Evans was the Washington Capitals' ninth round pick (251st overall) in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft and has yet to play an NHL game.
Dec. 13 Oilers activate right winger Radek Dvorak from the NHL Injured Reserve list and reassign defenceman 
Matt Greene from the Iowa Stars of the AHL. 
Dec. 7 Oilers place right winger Radek Dvorak on the NHL Injured Reserve list after he suffered a groin strain in practice.  The Oilers also assign goaltender Ty Conklin to the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League on a conditioning assignment, and recall defenceman Matt Greene from the Iowa Stars of the AHL.
Dec. 6 Oilers activate goaltender Ty Conklin from the NHL Injured Reserve List.
Dec. 5 Oilers re-assign defenceman Dan Smith to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.

NOVEMBER, 2005
Date Transaction
Nov. 29 Oilers re-assign defenceman Danny Syvret to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.
Nov. 19 Oilers activate defenceman Igor Ulanov from the NHL Injured Reserve List and reassign defenceman 
Dan Smith to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.
Nov. 19 Oilers trade defenceman Alexei Semenov to the Florida Panthers for a conditional pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.  Accoding to a Florida newspaper, the draft pick is a seventh round selection for now, and becomes a fifth round pick if the Panther's make the playoffs.  Semenov had 1-1-2 with 17 PIM in 11 games with the Oilers this year.
Nov. 11
Oilers claim center Krys Kolanos off waivers from the Phoenix Coyotes.  Kolanos, the 19th overall pick in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, has scored 17-18-35 with 74 PIM in 109 NHL games.  This season, the 6'3, 206 pound center has 2-1-3 with 2 PIM in nine games with Phoenix. 

This acquisition appears to be yet-another reclamation project for the Oilers, but it isn't a very costly one.  The Oilers will have to pay a $54,000 waiver fee, but Kolanos is on a two-way contract that will pay him $543,400 this season if he remains with the Oilers, and just $75,000 if he is sent to the minors.
Kolanos
Nov. 11 Oilers activate defencemen Marc-Andre Bergeron from the NHL Injured Reserve List and place goaltender 
Ty Conkin on the IRL retroactive to Nov. 3.  Bergeron missed two games with a fractured/lacerated finger, while Conklin is still recuperating from a groin injury that he suffered during training camp.
Nov. 10 Oilers re-assign center Kyle Brodziak to the Iowa Stars of the AHL
Nov. 4 Oilers place defencemen Marc-Andre Bergeron and Cory Cross on the NHL Injured Reserve List and recall defencemen Dan Smith and Danny Syvret from the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.  Cross is expected to be out of the line-up for 7 to 10 days with a sprained knee, and Bergeron could be out a week with a fractured/lacerated finger.
Nov. 2 Oilers recall center Kyle Brodziak from the Iowa Stars of the American Hockey League and place defenceman Igor Ulanov, who has a fractured toe, on the NHL Injured Reserve List.

 
OCTOBER, 2005
Date Transaction
Oct. 29 Oilers re-assign left winger Brad Winchester to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.  The move comes as a result of Ty Conklin's demotion to the Bulldogs for conditioning purposes.  His roster spot is still held with the Oilers, and the addition of goaltender Mike Morrison in his absence had put the team on over the 23-man roster limit.
Oct. 21 Oilers activate left winger Todd Harvey  from the Injured Reserve List.  He missed eight games with a sprained ankle.
Oct. 21 Oilers recall goaltender Michael Morrison from the Greenville Grrrowl of the ECHL and assign netminder 
Ty Conklin to the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs for conditioning purposes.  In four games with the Oilers this season, Conklin has a 1-1-0 record with a 4.39 goals-against average and a .836 save percentage. Morrison, meanwhile, is 1-1-0 with a 3.01 goals-against average and .895 save percentage in two games with Greenville.

In an unrelated move, the Oilers also re-assign center Kyle Brodziak to the Iowa Stars of the AHL
Oct. 21 Oilers activate left winger Ryan Smyth from the Injured Reserve List.  He missed six games with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
Oct. 20 Oilers activate center Shawn Horcoff from the Injured Reserve List.  He missed two games with a sprained right shoulder.
Oct. 14 Oilers place center Shawn Horcoff on the Injured Reserve List with a sprained right shoulder and recall center Kyle Brodziak from the Iowa Stars of the AHL.  Horcoff is expected to be sidelined for about 10 days.
Oct. 12 Oilers re-assign goaltender Michael Morrison to the Greenville Grrrowl of the ECHL.  Despite leading the team during the pre-season with a 2-0-0 record, 0.48 GAA and a .978 save percentage, the Oilers couldn't find room for Morrison on their roster or with one of their AHL affiliates.
Oct. 9 Left winger Ryan Smyth suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee in a game against the Vancouver Canucks and is sidelined indefinitely.
Oct. 7 Oilers activate goaltender Jussi Markkanen from the Injured Reserve List.  Markkanen missed all of training camp with a fractured left collarbone.
Oct. 7 Oilers sign center Rob Schremp to a three-year entry level contract.  Schremp, the 25th overall pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, has been reassigned to his junior team, but he could have re-entered the draft if not signed by next June.  Schremp's contract will pay him $600,000 the first year, $625,000 the second and $650,000 the third.

Schremp scored one goal in six pre-season games with the Oilers this year.  Last season with the London Knights of the OHL, he talled 41-49-90 in 62 games.
Oct. 5 Oilers activate defenceman Igor Ulanov from the Injured Reserve List, and place defenceman Dan Smith on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.
Oct. 3 Oilers make another round of training camp cuts, reducing their roster to 26 players.
