This is a reflection of where I see the Oilers defencemen slotting in on a depth chart to start the 2011-2012 season. I've actually created a chart listing the players in order according to their handedness and then have a 2nd chart reflecting their "overall" depth spot on the team, handedness aside.
Unlike the forwards, I have not given any opinion on progress because almost everyone here has completed their development or appears to be developing well (aside from perhaps Motin). Even Plante looked better this year. With defence in particular, age and draft position played heavily in some decisions and I suspect these charts will be very different a year from now. For the time being though, I see it as so:
| Shoots Left | Shoots Right |
| Ryan Whitney | Tom Gilbert |
| Cam Barker | Jeff Petry |
| Theo Peckham | Corey Potter |
| Ladislav Smid | Colten Teubert |
| Andy Sutton | Taylor Feduin |
| Taylor Chorney | Alex Plante |
| Martin Marincin | Johan Motin |
| Brendon Davidson | Jeremie Blain |
| Oscar Klefbom | Kyle Bigos |
| David Musil |
|
| Martin Gernat |
|
| Dillon Simpson |
|
| Overall depth |
| Ryan Whitney |
| Tom Gilbert |
| Cam Barker |
| Jeff Petry |

| Corey Potter |
| Taylor Chorney |
| Colten Teubert |
| Taylor Feduin |
| Alex Plante |
| Martin Marincin |
| Johan Motin |
| Brendon Davidson |
| Oscar Klefbom |
| David Musil |
| Martin Gernat |
| Dillon Simpson |
| Jeremie Blain |
| Kyle Bigos |
