Defenceman Eric Gryba will be back with the Edmonton Oilers next season. The club re-signed the 29-year-old to a two-year contract on Tuesday worth a reported $1.8 million.

Gryba scored two goals and four assists in 40 games with the Oilers last season. He also suited up in three of 13 playoff games. He was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
