Not a bad cap number for Turris.

Problem is though that with RNH playing wing, and with the defensive zone not being McDavid or Draisaitls strong suit, they needed a defensive center.

Defense isn't exactly Turris strong suit and he was outright bad last season, like one of the worst centers in the league defensively bad.

Here are the Oilers top 3 centers when it comes to defensive zone heat maps now, they really are going to need to get a good goalie...

That's a lot of red right in front of their own net...yikes.
