Allan Mitchell on Lowetide.ca: The Oilers need to acquire puck moving defenseman (left or right handed), a winger or two, and a backup goaltender.
Assets the Oilers could move out to acquire their needs.
First-round pick – currently ninth overall. A draft pick in this area in the past couple seasons has been in a package that netted the Flames Dougie Hamilton and Travis Hamonic.
Trading or buying out defenseman Andrej Sekera – He carries a $3.89 million salary cap hit.
Oscar Klefbom – Has a good contract but he’s had surgery and may not move because of it.
