DALLAS, TX -Oilers President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Peter Chiarelli fielded questions from media members on Thursday - a day ahead of the 2018 NHL Draft.
The Oilers general manager was asked about the attempt to acquire a defenceman. Specifically, a right-shot or offensive-minded rearguard.
"That's a hot topic," started Chiarelli. "Just from an offensive perspective, if the defenceman we're looking for - if it could be a right shot - that'd be great. I'm not just closing in on the right shot. They're hard to get and there are some in the draft, too."
