"We just saw a need to upgrade our defense, and this was an opportunity to do it," Edmonton assistant GM Scott Howson said Thursday night before the Oilers played the Los Angeles Kings. "There's an old saying: You can never have enough defensemen. To be strong at that position is very important, and we think we're
well-equipped going into the stretch drive."
