David Staples of the Edmonton Journal: Bob Stauffer on his radio show listed a few things the Oilers should do to help fix the team.
“Regardless of how GM situation plays out. Oilers need to:
#1. Prioritize adding skill and speed to forward units
#2. Transition D bringing in more offensive-minded puck movers.
#3. Target really good back-up (1.5-2.5M range)
#4. “Over-percolate” top prospects in Bakersfield.”
Staples adds that it’s not easy to acquire skilled forwards or puck-moving defensemen that would play on your top lines or top pairings.
