He was signed as a free agent by the Pittsburgh Penguins on July 16, 2010.[1]
On July 1, 2011, Potter signed a one year, two-way contract with the Edmonton Oilers.[2] His signing was in part due to the urging of Oilers coach Tom Renney.[3] After appearing in only one NHL game with the Penguins the previous year, he made the club out of training camp. He has played a large role, including being featured on the first unit power-play.
