This just in, the Edmonton Oilers have signed 31 year old journeyman goaltender Matt Tomkins.

Tomkins, an Edmonton native, has just six NHL games in his 9 year pro career, all with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has played mostly in a backup role for the AHL's Syracuse Crunch the past two seasons after spending two seasons in Sweden.
