The Edmonton Oilers are in dire need of bottom-six assistance, having lost Klim Kostin and Nick Bjugstad.

However, they may not have to search far for Bjugstad's replacement, as a seasoned fourth-liner could fit the bill.

Paul Stastny has been a journeyman in recent years due to his declining offensive output, but his face-off skills and defensive responsibility are undeniable.

Despite his reduced offensive capabilities, he could be obtained at a lower cost, and his presence would greatly benefit the team.

Stastny, who is a UFA seeking a new deal, could be accommodated within the team's current cap constraints.

His previous contract was a one-year, $2 million AAV, making him a smart addition if pursued by Ken Holland.
