Recently, Edmonton Oilers insider Bob Stauffer reported that the Edmonton Oilers could be making a move on a "off-radar" defenceman, but TSN's Pierre LeBrun has a different take.
Let's get real, everybody body knows that the Edmonton Oilers have been aggressively shopping the market for some help on the blue-line.
Recently, there seems to be some confusion about the type of defenceman GM Stan Bowman plans to target.
According to Bob Stauffer, The Edmonton Oilers are likely targeting an off-radar defenceman, possibly someone for the bottom pairing or a 7th defenceman role.

While these reports from both Stauffer and LeBrun are both contradictory, it definitely sparks an intriguing conversation.
While LeBrun is a highly respected insider, Bob Stauffer is definitely more plugged in with a deeper understanding of Oilers-related matters.
Will it be a bottom role depth defender? Or will it be a top 4-shutdown defender? Time will tell.
