The team still needs to add depth in certain areas, and with many teams vying for Eberle, they could address key areas with a deal. The only question is what areas should they address, and when?
First off, the Oilers still have to find a top-four, puck-moving right-hand defenceman. Edmonton ahs already built defence corps that play a shutdown game, but the team needs more offence from the blue line. And, with Andrej Sekera out for the start of the season, now is the time to find that player.
However, losing Eberle means losing more depth on the right wing.
