The Edmonton Oilers are in dire need of defense. Sure there may be some kind of trade happening, or a huge move that should land the Oilers a real number one defenseman. However, a cheap interesting option that could serve as an interim popped up today, as the Columbus Blue Jackets placed defenseman Kevin Connauton on waivers.

Connauton would be a heck of a pick up. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defenseman has a goal and seven assists this season, and he is a plus-10. Also, he has 24 hits and 15 blocks this season.
