In the 2016 and 2017 NHL Entry Drafts, the Oilers took a handful of promising defencemen. From puck-movers to stay-at-home blueliners, Edmonton has an arsenal of blueliners that ensure stability and defensive depth for years to come.
One player that packs a lot of promise and potential is 2016 draft pick Filip Berglund. Berglund was taken in the third round at 91st overall. The 20-year-old plays in Sweden, mainly with the J20 SuperElit League and the SHL; the J20 SuperElit League is the highest league of junior hockey in Sweden, and the SHL is the highest level of professional hockey in Sweden.
