*Brock Boeser

 

[DitchMarner]

I'd take every top six EDM forward over every corresponding VAN forward except in the case of Kane and Boeser.

The fact that VAN has a superior third line isn't nearly enough to make their overall group better.

Oilers group pretty easily

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Oilers top 6. Canucks bottom six.
Oilers overall.

Interesting note. If the Oilers had shot 10.5% this season at 5v5 like the Nucks did, they would have scored 40 more 5v5 goals.

I think some people may think this is closer than it actually is based off an unsustainable scoring rate for the Canucks this season.

 

[Tralfamadore]

That Canucks top line sucks so Oilers rather easily.

 

[Flamesgod]

Top 6 Edmonton easily. Bottom 6 Vancouver easily.
Vancouver has the better blueline as well. By quite a bit.

You forgot to whine about PDO in there.

"interesting note" smh

 

[NyQuil]

The McDavid factor is palpable.

Is he enough on his own to swing it, or would you still pick Edmonton if he was out of the lineup?

 

[Canucks LB]

It’s pretty obvious Edmonton, now let’s do defence

 

[SillyRabbit]

Oilers without question.

 

[Duder54]

I'd take McDavid, Draisaitl and Hyman over any of the Canucks top 6 forwards. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and twice on Sunday.

 

[Skolman]

Top 6 Edmonton easily. Bottom 6 Vancouver easily.
Vancouver has the better blueline as well. By quite a bit.

Based on what?

His personal opinion brotato. It doesn’t get more objective!

"interesting note" smh

But you didn't forget to whine about the perceived whine

Honestly think Vancouver has better depth but Edmonton obviously has the better top end talent.

 

[RefalancheStillLose]

Edmontons top 2 is so much better than it probably makes up for the overall difference, but there's no close option so I still went Nucks.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Trolling?

 

[Crow]

Top 6 vs Bottom 6

If Vancouver can neutralize the Edmonton top 6 with their top 6 maybe it will work out for them but I’m not betting on.

 

[Flamesgod]

Based on what?

My eyeballs, and the train wreck 2nd pair you guys have.

 

[ViD]

Oilers might just have the best offensive lineup in the NHL

 

[CanadienShark]

Is this meant to be a serious question?

 

[spiny norman]

Lopsided result.
