Klefbom is the only other high end defenseman in the system (and he should be on the Oilers this year). There are guys who can play in the 4-6 spot prospect wise. Klefbom and Nurse can play in the top 3 long term.
If the Oilers took Nichushkin, everyone would have laughed at them for taking another winger when they need defense.
Smart pick. I actually think both Calgary and Edmonton got it right.
