Man-games lost for every team (playoff implications?)

[Cawz]

Edmonton's had good luck this year when it comes to the top half of their roster. A lot of man games lost have been bottom six forwards and bottom pairing D, which they have the depth to fill from the AHL.

Most significant injuries have been guys like Pouliot, Pitlick, Russell, and Nurse. A bit different than last year when they were without McDavid and Klefbom for most of the year.

Yeah, that bubble graph isnt very good. Oilers shouldnt be anywhere near the top this year (finally). The other bar graph is much more useful, although cap hit isnt the perfect indicator.

The Oilers were ridiculously healthy this year. The only significant injuries were Nurse and Pitlick (good bottom line/pairing guys, but relatively easy to replace).

Viewing us as a highly-injured team is simply not true.
