Oilers Kick Tires on Ristolainen as Right-Side D Fix

Edmonton's search for defensive help is turning toward veteran solutions, with Rasmus Ristolainen emerging as a potential trade target. The right-shot defenseman could address the Oilers' depth concerns on the back end, though acquiring him would require moving assets in a tight cap situation. This move signals that management believes internal options may not be enough to compete at the highest level.
