I hear way more Edmonton media than I care to. But the Oilers priority isn't so much a number one stud defenseman as much as it is a Right handed shooting one that could play on a top pair.

They desperately need a right handed shooting guy who can fit in the top 4, as they still believe that between Klefbom, Nurse, and Sekera that they have top 4 guys. But they lack a guy who can play the right side effectively, and add offence from that side with that grouping.

The Oilers may be willing to add one of those guys to get a true top pair upgrade in a different deal. But the feeling I get is that they want to see if the number 4 pick and one of their forwards preferably RNH can be used to bring in that right handed shooting top pair guy. Which is why I think Subban is a guy they'd go really hard after, but if that door also closes, than they need to start looking anywhere and everywhere.
