Which forward is more valuable to Edmonton today?

Lander. He's good defensively and can play decent centre minutes. To be honest, I'm not sure why Leon is still here and Lander isn't. Good for him to get a call up. Pitlick is a dime a dozen AHL forward in my eyes, not that Lander is a saviour either but he fits our needs better.

I'm really hoping that all those Stu era 2nd round picks pan out as late bloomers. It would at least give the team some bottom six depth.

 

[The Nuge]

Pitlick. Neither has shown enough offense in the NHL, but Pitlick has better tools, and throws his weight around a lot more.

 

[Spawn]

Is there a neither option?

As of right now these guys are both still waiver fodder. Both have literally zero offense at the NHL level.

I guess I'd go with Lander for the simple fact that I think he'd be able to step in for Draisaitl and at least have Leon being developed properly in junior. But that's not gonna happen so whatever.

Both

Lander has definitely progressed this year, and I'm excited to see if he can be more of an asset at the NHL level, and he lets us send Drai back to the W

Pitlick since Pitlick>Purcell

Lander is a dime a dozen IMO.

As for Pitlick, how many big fast skating guys do we have in our system that love to run players into the boards? We need another pitlick.

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

about the same for me. Lander and Pitlick are 4th liners

Hall-Hopkins-Purcell
Perron-Drastial-Eberle
Pouliot-Gordon-Yakupov
Hendricks-Lander-Pitlick

should be our lines.

Until Lander shows any sort of offense at this level I'll take Pitlick because he wins battles, throws the body and he he's fast. Hopefully both become solid 3rd liners for us.

I'd say Pitlick but Lander at least seems to be able to stay healthy.

 

[Patch101]

I like what Pitlick has done so far. Lots of speed, and hits a ton.

Lander, well put it this way....I'd rather have him play instead of Leon at this point.

 

[nexttothemoon]

They are both very valuable in the lineup if the team wants to succeed in drafting McEichel... so flip a coin... taco commercial... etc

 

[Zaddy]

Pitlick has shown more so far in my opinion, but that could quickly change if Lander shows...well anything...this time around.

 

[McLotto 97]

Lander because oilers are desperate for centers.

Of course if he shows no offence this time then......fml

 

[McDrai]

I think Lander will go to the SEL after this season so Pitlick would be my prediction

 

[Jumptheshark]

Two different style players. Look good on the same line
