The Edmonton Oilers are in a tough spot. 

The team already had one of the worst defensive groups in the league and now lost their highest paid defenseman for probably the whole season, as the team announced Andrej Sekera will have surgery for a torn achilles tendon. 
Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli is in a tough spot as the free agent market is extremely dry right now, so he might lean on an old friend. 
ProHockeyRumors suggests that Chiarelli could likely look towards Adam McQuaid as a replacement on the blueline. 
McQuaid is in the final year of his contract which will pay him $2.75million and there's plenty of questions whether the Bruins will bother to bring him back after that. 
With Kevan Miller, Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo all able to play the right side, it makes McQuaid expendable. 
What exactly the Bruins could get in return is another question, most likely just a draft pick or two. 
Would you be ok with McQuaid being moved?
