The Edmonton Oilers are heading into the free agency period with a number of wants and needs as they look to build on their promising season. After finishing second in the Pacific Division, the Oilers are hoping to make some key additions to their roster that will help them take the next step and win a Stanley Cup.
One of the team’s biggest needs is on defense. While the Oilers have a number of talented forwards, their blue line could use some reinforcements. They’ll be looking for one more defenseman who can play a shutdown role against the opposition’s top players.
