## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers face a brutal offseason puzzle: how to upgrade, reload, and stay competitive with McDavid and Draisaitl while stuck with a tight cap and depleted draft pool. Defense remains a glaring hole, with Jacob Trouba’s physicality, Rasmus Andersson’s lab-built versatility, and Darren Raddysh’s affordable reliability all in the mix — but adding any of them will require painful roster sacrifices, possibly including Darnell Nurse or even Mattias Ekholm, as the Oilers gamble everything on a Stanley Cup run.
