Free agent defenceman Eric Gryba signed a one-year, two-way contract on Tuesday with the Edmonton Oilers.

The 28-year-old Gryba was on a professional tryout with the Oilers after also spending last season in Edmonton. Prior to that, he played three seasons with the Ottawa Senators.

The six-foot-four, 228-pound Saskatoon native had one goal and five assists in 53 games last year for the Oilers while also adding 75 penalty minutes.

Edmonton has made an effort to bolster its blue line ahead of the 2016-17 season, adding Adam Larsson and Kris Russell.
