Dollars to donuts it will be a defenseman, just to say that they "identified a need" (like anyone else in the casual hockey world could see) after drafting top forwards the past 3 years, and that this player will compliment Schultz and be the Taylor Hall equivalent of a defensemen.
Those media not yet onto the pattern of BS that Lowe has created, will lap this up and say now, with the forwards in place, and now the best defenseman they had since Pronger to solidify things, proclaim that the Oilers have found that missing piece/element, and now, the 13-14 season is to be the one for the Oilers to break out.
Don't need the Wings to help them, they can rely on turning on TSN and listening to McKenize if they are stuck.
