The Edmonton Oilers possess arguably the best two players in the game in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but despite this, they aren't the powerhouse team you'd expect them to be.
They are on a 3 game winning streak, but with the offensive weapons this team possesses, they should be fighting for the Presidents Trophy, not just a playoff spot.
Reports have come out today that the Oilers will be getting Evander Kane back in the lineup tonight after being out since November when Patrick Maroon stepped on his wrist, but it might take more than just Kane to turn this team into a true Stanley Cup threat.
Provorov is a top tier defenceman, something that the Edmonton Oilers don't have. He brings offensive upset and plays a two-way game, which could really help the Edmonton Oilers. Provorov is signed for two more years after this season at a cap hit of $6,750,000, so it will take some maneuvering for the Oilers to open up this amount of cap space, but if they see themselves as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, it would definitely be worth it.
