The Edmonton Oilers had some stiff competition in retaining one of their key free agents.
The Edmonton Oilers had a relatively quiet free agency this year, but made some key additions and re-signings to keep them firmly in the top tier of NHL teams.
The Oilers clearly wanted to keep Henrique around, and they did just that by signing him to a two-year extension worth $6 million . According to Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal, though, another team in Western Canada, the Winnipeg Jets, offered Henrique more money than the Oilers. Obviously, he turned that offer down in favor of staying in Alberta.
