Oilers fans, reporters and fan sites all make the bad assumption that you can trade for a young, top 3 defenseman. There may be none of them available this summer. Unless they are willing to part with Draisaitl+ and overpay for one.
Hamilton being available was a rare occurrence that shouldn't and doesn't happen very often. No team is lining up to trade young, top 3 d-men.
I'm hoping they can't find one and decide they have to draft one.
