EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Edmonton Oilers signed defenseman Marc-Andre
Bergeron and right wingers Craig Reichert and Kevin McDonald, all free agents,
on Tuesday.
Bergeron, 20, broke the season record for goals by a defenseman in the
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League last season with 42. He added 59 assists in 69
games for the Shawinigan Cataractes.
Reichert spent the 2000-01 season in Germany, playing for Dusseldorf EG.
The 27-year-old made his NHL debut in 1996-97, playing three games for the
Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
McDonald split the 2000-01 season between the Florida Everblades and the
Roanoke Express of the East Coast Hockey League, finishing second in penalty
minutes with 363 and second in major penalties with 33. The tough forward played
in the Western Hockey League from 1994 to 1998 with Kamloops, Regina, Medicine
Hat, Seattle and Edmonton.
