63% Informative

Darnell Nurse, Cody Ceci , Vincent Desharnais and Philip Broberg have all left the Edmonton Oilers defence.

Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm have the best top-pairing on defence since 1987 .

The last time Edmonton has had such an outstanding twosome for a full season was in 1987 .

Troy Stecher has had a good run of pre-season games.

Ty Emberson has looked sound as well.

Travis Dermott could still be good to have around as insurance in case of injury.

Ben Gleason and Phil Kemp looked like they could hold their own on an NHL third -paring.
