I just learned in an article from the Athletic that the Oilers defence is and I quote,

"recognized as being top-drawer. It is so deep that any trade in-season for a goaltender may include a defenceman as part of the assets out."

I'm confused, where is this depth? Am I missing something? The Oilers have some of the worst defensive depth in the league and literally not one player on the farm team to come play any real minutes.
