Feb. 23: Oilers activate right winger Fernando Pisani and defenceman Daniel Tjarnqvist from the NHL Injured Reserve List.  To make room on the roster, the Oilers have placed centre Petr Nedved on the NHL Injured Reserve List and have reassigned left winger Zack Stortini to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL.

Feb. 18:
Oilers trade defenceman Marc-Andre Bergeron and an third round pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft to the New York Islanders for defenceman Denis Grebeshkov. 

Grebeshkov has scored 6-8-14 with 65 PIM in 40 games with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv in Russia.  Since being drafted by Los Angeles 18th overall in 2002, Grebeshkov has played only 33 NHL games, scoring 0-3-3 with 20 PIM. 

This trade can probably be summed up as addition by subtraction, as Bergeron's mistakes during games often proved costly for the Oilers.  In 55 games this year, Bergeron scored 8-17-25 with 28 PIM and a -9 rating.
