The Edmonton Oilers agreed to terms with defenceman Igor Ulanov on Friday.
Ulanov returns for his 14th NHL season and fourth with Edmonton. The 35-year-old native of Krasnokamsk, Russia, was the Oilers' nominee for the Bill Masterton Trophy in 2003-04 when he recorded five goals and 13 assists in 42 games. Ulanov played for 4 seasons with the Winnipeg Jets from 1991-95 appearing in 176 games and scoring 5 goals along with 43 assists for 48 points and had 383 PIM.

Ulanov will be 36 years old, when the 2005-06 season gets underway. He was an ok defensemen, not outstanding by any means. His best year was 2000-01 with the Oil, but he is past his prime, and in the twilight of his career.

Ulanov is a sold D-man... blocks shots like crazy I think he even lead the league once. Sure he`s no offensive defensman, but hes pretty solid defenseively and the shot blocking is a huge asset.

like hatrick said ...he is alright in my books, he did his job, if he didn't he wouldn't be in the NHL anymore.

ulanov wasnt a bad defenseman. it was boutin that was the really really really bad russian defenseman. maybe you are mixing them up. ulanov made some bad mistakes in his rookie year but unlike boutin, he learned from his mistakes and got better. good to see him resigned.

Boutin was the worst by far........but ulanov was slow and stupid also........seeing his play with the jets, i've written him off........i'll never like him.......
