Allan Mitchell of The Athletic: Looking at three areas of need for the Oilers this offseason, and the top free agents at that position.
Right-handed defenseman – one that can play on the power-play. John Carlson is the top option. Other options include Mike Green, Chris Wideman, and Tim Heed.
Scoring winger – Someone that can play with Leon Draisaitl. Maple Leafs winger James van Riemsdyk is the top free agent option. Other Leafs that might interest the Oilers in a trade – Kasperi Kapanen, Connor Brown, Andreas Johnsson and Josh Leivo.
