Nygard is an interesting scratch. I like what he brings. I imagine Archibalds leash is mighty short.Clearly Tippett isn't afraid to change a winning lineup. Archibald, Chiasson and Granlund (though he's been in the lineup) better bring it. Smith too for that metter.
Haas is out I think, not NygardNygard is an interesting scratch. I like what he brings. I imagine Archibalds leash is mighty short.
Rejuvenated James Neal is a good thing for the Oilers.
Not sure how long he can keep up his insane offensive streak, but even if he comes back to earth a bit, and just plays steady hockey like he did in Nashville and Vegas, Edmonton will benefit greatly from that.
