Tyler Sloan has been resigned by the Hershey Bears for the 2008-2009 season.
Sloan played in 56 games last season. He had one goal and seven assists and was a +5 for the season.
He is a solid defensive defenseman that can play the body. Standing 6'3" and weighing in at 205 lbs, he is surely big enough to go against the big forwards in front of Machesney.
I am actually kind of surprised that he was resigned. I think the Bears would have signed Danny Syrvet before Sloan had he been available. It will be interesting to see if they sign any of the other defensemen now. Josef Boumedienne and Jonathon Paiement are still available and I think played better than Sloan this past season.
Also, Oskar Osala has signed a 3 year entry level contract with the Capitals. He played in Finland last season and is expected to be in Hershey for 08-09 and possibly beyond.
