## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers’ big trade for tough defenseman Nikita Zadorov collapsed when Zadorov refused to move to Edmonton, leaving the team scrambling. They ended up sending Darnell Nurse to San Jose for a prospect, opening the door for a potential reunion with Evander Kane — a physical scorer with a controversial past. Writer David Staples argues Kane’s mix of grit and offense is exactly what the Oilers need after missing out on Zadorov, comparing the defenseman to an “apex predator.” While Kane’s return would spark debate, it might just be the affordable, in-your-face solution the Oilers desperately crave.
