Line Combos: Lines 2016-2017

[Nordic*]

I didn't find one of these threads. If there already is one, a mod is free to merge.

Many players can still be moved and aquired, but take a guess; what will the lineup for next season be on opening night?

Lucic-McDavid-Eberle

Maroon-Draisaitl-Puljujärvi

Pouliot-RNH-Yakupov

Kassian-Hendricks-Letestu/Pakarinen/Purcell


Klefbom-Larsson

Sekera-Nurse

Davidson-Gryba


Talbot
Nilsson​

I'm probably way off, but what do you think?

Had Nurse playing his off side.

[ResilientBeast]

Schultz what?

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Schultz what?

After all this time, the stink is still around.

I honestly would give Yak a try with McDavid. Poo, RNH, and ebs play well together and having them go up against other third lines would be ideal. If not, then Drai's line would do so. Would make line-ups more difficult for opposing teams.

 

[McOilers97]

This looks about right, other than I'm assuming that something like RNH for Barrie goes down (or something where we get a PP, RHD for one of our forwards), in which case a few players will change.

 

[Joey Moss]

Purcell, Schultz, Nilsson..

Where have you been?

 

[La Bamba]

I'm still psychologically scarred from watching Schultz play "defence".

 

[cbzblaze]

I would start the season with:

Lucic mcd yak
poo rnh eberle
Maroon drai kassian
Hend letestu pak
Lander khaira

Klefbom larsson
Sekera fayne
Davidson osterle
Reinhart nurse

Yak will be most effective with McDavid, might as well utilize it. Maybe he gains confidence and becomes productive again. Line 2 has had success in the past. Line 3 would be horrible to get the puck away from, cycle cycle cycle. Davidson osterle looked really good moving the puck end of last year. Would be nice to add another d to bump fayne down as well. Still hoping chia can move out poo or letestu to make some space. Pulju nurse and Reinhart could use some time to start in minors. That's a pretty heavy lineup as is, imagine adding pulju and khaira.

 

[Axlejaxon]

Any chance Slepy makes the opening night roster this year?

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Fantasy guesses;

Lucic-McDavid-Eberle
Maroon-Nugent Hopkins-Puljujarvi
McGinn-Draisaitl-Kassian
Hendricks-Letestu-Pakarinen

killer top 9, IMO.

Sekera-Larsson
Klefbom-Demers
Oesterle-Fayne
Davidson

Why are we bringing Nilsson, Purcell and Schultz back?

 

[Nordic*]

Why are we bringing Nilsson, Purcell and Schultz back?

I'm sorry. Have been an outsider and do not know exactly who goes and who stays.

 

[Soundwave]

Maroon McDavid Eberle
Pouliot RNH Kassian
Vanek Draisaitl Puljujarvi
Hendricks Letestu Pakirenen

Klefbom Larsson
Davidson Sekera
Nurse Wideman

Lucic will bail on the Oilers sending them into scramble mode.

 

[The Safe Play]

My guess...

Lucic McDavid Eberle
Pouliot Draisaitl Yakupov
Maroon Haula Puljujärvi
Hendricks Letestu Kassian/Pakarinen
Lander

Klefbom Larsson
Sekera Dumba
Davidson Fayne
Gryba

Talbot
Johnson

 

[shoop]

Sekera-Larsson
Klefbom-Demers
Oesterle-Fayne
Davidson

Very, very solid D. Best since the Oilers have had since the start of the 2007-08 season.

I would like to see a five way battle in camp among: Oesterle/Fayne/Davidson/Reinhart/Nurse for the 5/6/7 jobs.

 

[The Safe Play]

Davidson has the 5 spot locked down.

 

[Canovin]

Pure fantasy.

Pou-RNH-Eriksson
Lucic-Mcdavid-Yak
Maroon-Drai-Pulju
Kassian-Hendricks-Pak

Lindholm-Larsson
Sekera-Klef
Davidson-Wiz

Talbot

 

[Jumptheshark]

I'm sorry. Have been an outsider and do not know exactly who goes and who stays.

here is who the oilres got for those three

Purcell--- Matthew Cairns (D)
Schultz---Filip Berglund (D)
Nilsson-- Graham McPhee

 

[Nordic*]

Why do you not have Nurse in your top-6 D?

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

I'm still psychologically scarred from watching Schultz play "defence".

I'm still psychologically scarred that he won a cup

 

[MessierII]

Ask me tomorrow

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

I want Chia to pick up another top 4 RHD but have no clue who he will go for, i'll just put Demers in there for now but preferably someone more offensive.

Lucic - McDavid - Yakupov/FA RW
Pouliot - RNH - Eberle
Maroon - Draisatl - Kassian (Give Pulju 20 or so games in the AHL)
Hendricks - Letestu - Pakarinen
Lander

Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Demers
Davidson - Fayne
Gryba

Talbot
Vet backup

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Maroon-McDavid-Eberle
Eriksson|Lucic-Draisaitl-Puljajarvi
Pouliot-RNH-Yakupov
Hendricks-Letestu-Pakman
Khaira

Klefbom-Larsson
Sekera-Demers
Davidson-Seidenberg
Oesterle

Nurse-Reinhart in AHL

Talbot
Zatkoff

 

[Nordic*]

How far away is Edmonton from being a playoff team at this point?

Another top-4 D, good back-up and a top-6 winger?

 

[Pointteen]

I didn't think it justified a new thread, but how do you guys feel about the 4 forwards and 1 defender route for the power play?

If Lucic is coming, he has a good snapshot.
I can't think of an Oilers forward with a good slapshot. Have we even seen Pouliot take one?
