Moving towards the draft and pending free agency, looking over the Edmonton Oilers depth chart gives some a headache. Not only do they lack right-handed defensemen, but there aren’t many right wingers .
At the top is Jordan Eberle, but after him comes Nail Yakupov and then Zack Kassian. Yakupov is most likely to be traded at the draft and Kassian is not exactly a second-line talent. That leaves a big hole in the top-six forwards as the roster stands right now.
Therefore, Edmonton should look into pending free agent right winger Troy Brouwer.
