When discussing the Edmonton Oilers, and suggesting moves they should make this coming offseason, you have to look at all the options.
With the Oilers reportedly open-minded to plenty of options, they must also keep in mind that every gift comes with a price, meaning if they want a number-one defenseman, they’re going to have to trade away one of their many valuable pieces.
Right now, there’s a list of players that could be used as a trade chip: Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle and the fourth-overall pick. Out of all of these, the best option is Nugent-Hopkins.
