There's nothing scary about any of kahun, Yamamoto, nuge or puljujarvi and we have beaten the oilers more times than we've lost to them during the mcdavid-drai era. That team got worse this summer not better. Klefbom will not play the majority of the upcoming season. There's not a single scary thing about the oilers unless mcdavid becomes interested in defense
Yeah, there’s being an Oilers homer thinking they’re the best team in the league and then there is this...it’s just straight up denial.
None of those guys are scary on their own, but them riding shotgun with the best C duo in the league is. Especially when you consider McDavid and Draisaitl had to drag Neal, Kassian, Chiasson, Nygard and company the previous years. This is the best winger group Edmonton has surrounded their two elite C’s with ever, even if Puljujarvi doesn’t look any better than before he left.
Add in Barrie who puts up a bunch of points on a cheap “prove yourself” deal, and the Oilers are going to fill the net.
And for the record, I never said their team was scary, I said their offence is. That defence and goaltending is likely a disaster, but they very may well outscore those problems regularly.
