You're not a good person

Unless Holland pulls off a miracle, McDavid is stuck with Kassian and Neal. It's hardly ideal, but it'll have to do.
The Oilers' 4th line is somewhat embarrassing. I liked Edmonton Journal's David Staples' comment the other day: "When Khaira, Cave, and Russell have the puck, I'm always thinking... get to the red line and shoot it in! Get to the red line and shoot it in! Even when they have a two-on-one, I'm thinking that...".
I have watched and disagree with you and seemingly most of HFOil. Let's see who the coaches agree with over the next few months. aka Kharia will not be in the press box while those 4 players are in the lineup.That isn't true in the slightest, have you not watched this year?
He's the weak link on his line with Cave and Prussell right now
Taking a couple fights doesn't make you good or useful, it just means you fought. Khaira has been the worst regular oiler for like the last 3 monthsI have watched and disagree with you and seemingly most of HFOil. Let's see who the coaches agree with over the next few months. aka Kharia will not be in the press box while those 4 players are in the lineup.
Kassian is suspended. Neal is hurt. So who do you put with McDavid in their absence?

If this was EA sports I would doubleshift McD.

Khaira-McD-Cave

With Neal out indefinitely and Kassian out until the end of the month, the lines are gonna be weird.
I imagine McDavid probably gets shoehorned in with players he’s played with before and becomes basically our 2nd line with rotating line mates.
So basically:
Nuge-Drai-Yamo
Gagner/Benson-McD-Chaisson/Archibald
Probably ends up being
Benson-McD-Archibald
He needs a LW, IMO Benson isn't ready just yet and should continue to play with Sheahan and Archibald. He needs a LW now, not next season, literally right now.
Benson 1st line? really?
Haas McD Archibald
NDY
Benson Sheahan Neal
Khaira Cave Prussell
If Draisaitl and McD wasnt on the team, the woukd be the worst team in the leuage.
It does depend on when Neal and Nygard get back. I'm not sure if Benson has 100% earned his spot on that 3rd line despite the fact he has played well in his last two. I don't mind Chiasson-Haas-Nygard for a 4th line. Unless we get another top 6 winger, we'll likely be running Neal-McDavid-Kassian (again, when all of them get back).
Ennis-McDavid-Kapanen
This might not be so bad for a few games.If this was EA sports I would doubleshift McD.
