They still need that big shot down low. The PP system last season was certainly an issue (why was Drai not in the slot?, why was Lucic not parked in front?, too stagnant etc.) but it's going to be very difficult to be a top PP without a one shot scorer.
Believe it or not, Lestestu's one timer was a big reason why the PP succeeded 2 seasons ago, it gave the Oilers a one shot scorer option and opened up space for McDavid and Drai because teams started respecting Letestu's shot. All the good PPs have that guy, do the Oilers? Pulju could be that guy but he's still too raw to be counted on so I wonder who they slot there next season.
They have some issues on their PP. I agree they need someone who can shoot the puck.
I really think in order for it to be successful, that McDavid has to shoot sometimes just to keep things less predictable. Have a guy sit in front of the net and screen the goalie. McDavid should take some shots when the goalies screened. He needs to trust his shot more.
