"Oilers Offseason Goals
Looking at their lack of production, the Oilers needed more from a number of forwards, but most importantly, they needed wingers.
While Leon Draisaitl proves to work well on the wing with McDavid, he’s a player who needs to center his own line, and beyond him, the Oilers lack depth on the right side.
Given the shortage of productive wingers, Edmonton threw unproven youngsters Jesse Puljujarvi and Ty Rattie into bigger roles on the top-6 and put higher expectations on their shoulders, moves that did not pay off."
