The Edmonton Oilers are rumored to be exploring the market for a defenseman. According to insider David Pagnotta of "The Fourth Period," the Oilers are considering Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard.
The Oilers, who are struggling with their penalty kill, are actively exploring their options as the season progresses. While they have some cap flexibility, they are being cautious about spending.
Savard could be a prime candidate due to his physical play and defensive skills, which could significantly enhance the Oilers' defense.
During Monday's edition of "The Latest," Pagnotta said (via TFP):
"David Savard it is in the lineup for the Montreal Canadiens and he’s going to be a target for a number of teams, including the Edmonton Oilers. “Yes, I think the Oilers and (GM) Stan Bowman are looking around to see what their options are going to be later on in the season."
