Edmonton Oilers’ Bold Moves: The Shocking Truth Behind Three Goalies, Defense Dilemmas, and Hidden Cap Space
Now, Ryan Shea had a great year in Pittsburgh, and I looked up, you know, his minutes played, I look up who he played against, you know, he’s a second pair of defenseman. And with (Evan) Bouchard and (Connor) Murphy on your right side, those are your top two defense on the right side, you got (Jake) Walman, (Mattias) Ekholm, and Shea now on the left side.
My concern is the Oilers don’t have an overly physical blue line right now. Not overly big, but you know, Ryan Shea, is he competitive enough? Yes, I think he, he, he will make less of the big errors that Nurse would make every now and then. But more importantly, I think it just gives them flexibility that now they can go to the trade deadline, and if they’re missing pieces, they don’t have to just, you know, try to scrimp and scratch and claw. They’ll have significant amount of cap space to actually add some players.
