Andy Sutton's newly inked one-year deal is worth $1.5 million. Sutton can earn an additional $250,000 depending on how many games he participates in. This deal also effectively takes Sutton off the trade block, which should please him. "I told (Oilers general manager) Steve Tambellini right after my second suspension (eight games for a head hit on former Carolina Hurricanes winger Alexei Ponikarovsky) two months ago that I wanted to stay here," said Sutton.
