Should the Edmonton Oilers make a play for this Winnipeg Jet?
Despite the additions, the Edmonton Oilers still need defensive help, as there are holes on the roster.
To shift minutes away from Cody Ceci, who has been a temporary solution to a permanent problem, they might consider a Winnipeg Jet.
Way-too-early trade deadline targets for the Edmonton Oilers!
How about Dylan DeMelo?!

In addition to playing top-four minutes with Josh Morrissey, Dylan DeMelo has been a Winnipeg Jet since 2019.
DeMelo has a reputation for helping a team in their penalty kill and is a top-four pairing defenseman elsewhere.
He is responsible with his placement, possesses great zone transition skills, and is able to remain detached under pressure, all qualities that a team would look for in its defensive player.
The Jets may have to eat some salary if they trade DeMelo at the deadline.
A top penalty-killing unit in the league will make him a sought-after player, and it's another player to keep an eye on next year.
