Edmonton won't retain their rights to Alex Plante. He wasn't presented with a qualifying offer, so he can sign anywhere on July 5. Plante only has 10 games of NHL experience in his career.

Alex Plante was called up from the minors on Friday January 18.

Alex Plante is off to a slow start with Oklahoma City of the AHL. Plante suffered two concussions last season but that is not the reason for his slow start. The former first round pick in the 2007 Draft, has struggled since becoming a pro and is deep down in the Oilers depth chart. "Alex has to move his feet to be effective. If his feet are planted, no pun intended, his options (carrying the puck) aren't there. You just can't play catch with the puck (with your blue-line partner)," coach Todd Nelson said.

The Edmonton Oilers signed restricted free agent Alex Plante to a one-year contract extension Thursday. Plante had a strong season with the Oklahoma City Barons that kept him in the mix among the Oilers' defensive depth options. The 15th overall pick in 2007 (of the three pieces acquired from the New York Islanders in the Ryan Smyth trade, Plante's the only one still in the organization), things started going downhill for the mammoth defenseman immediately after he was drafted. In 2007-08, while still with the WHL's Calgary Hitmen, Plante regressed from 38 points to two and missed time both while injured and healthy. To his credit, he rebounded in the same organization and has progressed enough that he's a solid AHLer at this point in his career.
