While Travis Sanheim could certainly strengthen the Edmonton Oilers' defense, there's a catch. The Oilers already have Darnell Nurse and Mattias Ekholm on the left side of their defense, which could lead to overcrowding. To make room for Sanheim, one of these three players might have to switch to the right side.
This adjustment could be a tricky task for Ken Holland and the Oilers' management. However, Sanheim is a dependable defenseman with skills on both ends of the ice. He's been a crucial part of the Philadelphia Flyers, who seem to be heading into a rebuilding phase. With the Oilers eager to compete, considering Sanheim is a no-brainer.
