EDMONTON -- Ales Hemsky is staying with the Edmonton Oilers.
The forward signed a US$10-million, two-year extension on Friday night, foregoing the right to become a free agent this summer.
Hemsky would have been a prime trade target ahead of Monday's deadline had he remained unsigned.
Instead, he'll remain with the only NHL organization he's ever known.
The 28-year-old was drafted 13th overall by Edmonton in 2001 and has 421 points in 536 career games.
In 46 games this season, the Czech has five goals and 26 points.
