The Edmonton Oilers were in the hunt for a right-handed, puck-moving defenseman, and were reportedly in on plenty of names: P.K. Subban, Kevin Shattenkirk, Jacob Trouba, etc. However, they eventually stopped spinning the wheel and decided to land on and settle with New Jersey Devils defenseman Adam Larsson, a big right-handed shutdown blueliner.
Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy on Yahoo! Sports cited Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Dispatch, who had a run-down of the entire situation that happened with Shattenkirk, who has a year remaining on his contract and is still with the Blues after weeks of trade speculation.
