depends on the Oilers and canucks boards...

everyone knows, even Edmonton's idiotic management, that they need a DMan, not another forward... sure, they could try trading one of the forwards, but why would anyone want Oiler castoffs like a Eberle or RNH? would any team trade a potential 1 or 2 DMan for either of those guys?

no way.

so, the only way to really get a 1 or a 2 DMan is to trade equally good assets or picks, or you draft them...

If the Oilers have a DMan ranked on their board as 5, 6, 7, really, its not like gigantic reach just to pick them at 4, especially considering how desperately they need a DMan. They have Hall, McDavid and Draistl up front already... how many top forwards do they think they need?

and van has Boesner, Virtanen and Horvat... all play pretty much the same game as Tkachuk...Dubois they take, but Tkachuk might be too redundant possibly?
