From Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun:

Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers figures four years in the minors is enough.

The Edmonton Oilers goaltender is ready to make the jump to the NHL.

“My intention is to make the Oilers this year,” Drouin-Deslauriers said yesterday after the Oilers announced they had reached an agreement with him on a two-year contract extension.

Unless the Oilers deal Dwayne Roloson (and I don’t see that happening), Drouin-Deslauriers will almost assuredly begin the season in the AHL.
