The moved Lucic down which is sure fine. But then they replaced Cagguila with Draisaitl?
It's hard to make a good poker hand when you aren't dealt enough cards. The Oilers are a few cards short of a deck and the best hand they can make is the Royal Sampler.
At the end of the day I don't think there is a lot of difference to total impact when you are talking about Pak and Khaira.
There isn't exactly a lot that he can do. He's keeping that top line together as they usually have success. Rather at least have one line going than none. The rest what are you honestly going to do.
Except when you go up early in the first period by a coupe goals they should be anchoring their own line. Tmac just rides the same hope train every game when he plays them together. Yeah great so the only way that we can win games is if our top line outscores the other teams entire line up. Look at what these clowns have down to the pp this year and look at what they think the solution is. Watch this shit will continue to fail to the point we are out of the playoff picture and finally Woodcroft will give Larsson a chance on the pp and it looks good. You know that shit is going to happen.
It's insanity at this point. You can get by with shoddy RW depth when you have McDavid and Draisaitl as your top two centres (or you should at least try for longer than two periods, anyway). Maroon-McDavid and Lucic-Leon are two pairs we know work. I don't understand or haven't heard why McLellan used new, balanced lines in camp and then scrapped them after the second last preseason game.
