Ric Jackman headed to Edmonton?

From all accounts, the Oilers will pick up Ric Jackman off waivers from the Florida Panthers this week. They have already submitted their claim on Jackman's "re-entry waiver". If the NHL approves, it will cost the Oilers around 600,000 of his salary for the rest of the year.

Jackman will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year.
