The Edmonton Oilers have agreed to terms with forwards Marc-Antoine Pouliot, Jean-Francois Jacques and Troy Bodie, all to three-year entry level contracts.

Pouliot, the Oilers' first round draft pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, captained the Rimouski Oceanic to a berth in the 2005 Memorial Cup.  The 6'2", 190-pound Quebec City, Quebec native recorded 114 points in 70 games with the Oceanic last season.

Jacques, a 6'4", 217-pound left-winger was drafted by the Oilers in the second round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.  The 20-year-old captained the Baie Comeau Drakkar for the third consecutive season in 2004-05 and notched 78 points in 69 games.

Bodie, who was drafted by the Oilers in the ninth round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, had a breakthrough season with the WHL's Kelowna Rockets last season, notching 24 goals and 48 points in 72 games.  The 6'5", 205-pound native of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba helped Kelowna earn their second consecutive Memorial Cup berth in 2005.
