Sean Maloughney: Figuring Out The Healthy Oilers Lineup

Kemp is a Dman. Do you mean Noah Philp?

What about when Kane is healthy? Where do you place him?

RNH-McDavid-Arvidsson
Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Kane
Janmark-Henrique-Hyman
Skinner-Philp-Brown
Perry
Waive Ryan.

Shelter Hyman in a lesser role. Take him off the PP.

When healthy, Kane is a beast and volume shooter with Podkolzin crashing the net. Legion of Doom 2.0.

Waive Ryan and give Philp 30 more games to acclimate to the NHL. If he doesn't cut it, add a 4th line center at the deadline.

That defense unit is horrible!
The whole right side needs a massive upgrade!
Oilers need a true 1st pair RD, drop Bouchard to the 2nd pairing and upgrade the 3rd RD.

I think by now it's pretty obvious how defensively terrible Bouchard is. It's undeniable and he should be 2nd (if not 3rd) pairing and give him PP1 minutes.

McDavid needs to start watching tape of how defensively liable he plays. The Edmonton Oilers love affair with offense has to come to an end and start playing real hockey. There are ZERO fwds on the team that one would call a "warrior" (Draisaitl sometimes when he gets going).

So disappointed in this team so far this season.

You whine a lot.

It's not whining, it's demanding a better effort from top to bottom from this organization. I was in the room when I was 10yrs old and it has been a long wait, only to watch them flounder around and continue to make error after error instead of using proper instincts and executing on them.

I don't think I'm wrong.

(you should hear me "whine" if you were to work for/with me. hehe)

Yes, because every team has execs listening to us on websites telling them what to do so our "demands" are met. It's whining and it's all you ever do. Wahhh McDavid doesn't backcheck, Drai is lazy, Bouch doesn't know how to defend... When is the last time you said anything positive about a single player. You are the Oilers Wahhh-mbulance on this site and sound about as smart as Oildumb and his optimism or flamesfan1230 with his takes. The horse you have been beating has been dead for 3 years, yet you continue to beat it. And you bring nothing but opinion to convince those that disagree and claim anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot because you're some experienced and successful business man supposedly. So we're the guys who Biz tuned up last week in Zona.

Stale effort.

Do Stuff.
