David Staples of the Edmonton Journal: Brian Lawton predicted that the Edmonton Oilers will trade two of their top-four defensemen this offseason. thinks the Oilers will move the 33-year Kris Russell.
Russell only recorded 10 points in 55 games last season, but he can still help a team. He can still skate, block shots and kill penalties.
If the Oilers trade either Oscar Klefbom or Darnell Nurse to create more time for Caleb Jones, then Russell could stay and be on their third pair.
