Overall, the Edmonton Oilers are a team with a whole lot of needs right now, but they don't necessarily have the cap space to get things done.
Now, it is being reported by Frank Seravalli that GM Stan Bowman is on the verge of making yet another massive move. Essentially, the Oilers are prepared to trade for a defenseman.
One name that has been thrown around is Tony DeAngelo, although he would be a free agent signing. Meanwhile, there are plenty of other right-handed D-men around the league that the Oilers could acquire. Although teams know that the Oilers are in need. This could drive up prices, and cause a nightmare scenario for Bowman.
