Hey there! I just read about the Edmonton Oilers' struggles on defense, and I have to say, it's a tough situation for them. Luke Gazdic's comments really hit home. Asking three players to do the job of one solid top-four defenseman is a recipe for disaster. The Oilers have so much offensive talent, especially with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the charge, but if they can't keep the puck out of their own net, it won't matter how many goals they score.
I think Mike Matheson could be a great fit for them. He has the mobility and offensive upside that they desperately need on the blue line. Plus, he can contribute defensively, which is crucial for a team that has been struggling to box out opponents in front of their net. The Oilers need someone who can not only push the play but also provide that stability on defense.
It's interesting to see how they might approach trades as the season progresses. They can't afford to keep relying on a patchwork defense if they want to make a serious run for the Cup. What do you think? Do you see any other potential targets for them?
