Edmonton Oilers
I've seen lots of negative reaction to this, but I don't mind the gamble.
Also: if it doesn't work out, at least it's an expiring contract and the cost was negligible. Sometimes teams overpay just to plug a warm body in on defence.
OFFICIAL: We've acquired defenseman Michael Del Zotto (@MichaelDelZotto) from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for defenseman Luke Schenn and a 2019 seventh-round draft pick.

Jujhar & Connor score in regulation, Mikko stands tall in OT, Chiasser delivers the shootout dagger & the #Oilers pick up two big points in Vancouver.

McDavid's PP ripper on Markstrom from 30 feet was in and out before Markstrom could even move. Those 2 min shifts are fun too
Hitchcock on Virtanen's breakaway in last 15 seconds of third: "I almost fell back on bench when I saw that."
Well said, Helene.
To recap: Ducks today reacquired Derek Grant, acquired Michael Del Zotto, acquired Justin Kloos. Talk about nibbling around the edges of a problem...
Kailer Yamamoto got 4 mins in third and Hitch much higher on his work. I didn't notice him that much offensively but Hitch liked him
Caleb Jones was rattled by Erik Gubranson into end boards and needed concussion protocol. "Good hit. Yeah good hit." One D man to another
Only downer for Oilers in win: Just 6 mins for Puljujarvi. "I didn't like his board work." said Hitch.Barely noticeable on 3rd line
A wild session of OT somehow solved nothing as a goaltender's dual between Koskinen & Markstrom ended with Chiasson rifling the shootout winner for the 3-2 #Oilers win vs. Vancouver. https://t.co/McgbOBbRLM
Alex Chiasson when asked if that high shot on shootout was his A move: "Thanks for letting everybody know."
Coach Hitch discusses Koskinen locking it down in extra time, going to Chiasson in the shootout & the overall #Oilers effort as they earn two big points in Vancouver.
"Down the stretch there's going to be a lot of tight games. We've got to learn how to play in these types of games & make good decisions. I thought tonight was a good example of (doing that)." Chiasson

"To get the extra point is huge... I'm glad Mikko was able to stand tall & Chiasser was able to find one." @cmcdavid97 on the #Oilers taking it in the shootout
"It kind of presented itself & for myself, I have to be more of a shooter. I have to focus on that & it's nice when it pays off." @Jujhar94 on his gorgeous shorthanded tally
