I could see it. In his interview I think he (and Skinner) recognize that the Oilers PP isn't a place for improvement and that their signings anticipated limited PP time, but they give you the sort of flexibility in a slump and with injuries.I wonder if they will have RV rotate into Nuge's spot on PP1 once in a while to get a different look. This guy's got a hell of a shot and could be a threat from the left half boards.
Arvidsson is the player that I wished Yams would develop into. It will be interesting to see if a line like Nuge-Drai-Arv can dominate similar to how the DRY line did.
It’s ironic that Arvidsson has turned into Yamamoto.Arvidsson is the player that I wished Yams would develop into. It will be interesting to see if a line like Nuge-Drai-Arv can dominate similar to how the DRY line did.
Maybe it's the Draisaitl Effect.It’s ironic that Arvidsson has turned into Yamamoto.

Well, except that after Yamamoto left the Oilers he was still crap at every stop he had. That ain’t on Leon.Maybe it's the Draisaitl Effect.
That's a mystery that's eluded me too. Since the breakup of the DRY line, RNH and Draisaitl have played together maybe only a handful of games and only one or two games before they're yanked apart again. I wonder if coaches don't see any chemistry there? I always thought putting RNH with Draisaitl was a more even distribution of talent, leaving McDavid with Hyman. But for some reason, McDavid has always gotten the lion's share of the linemates and left Draisaitl with the dregs, most recently two pointless wonders in Arvy and Podz.For reasons that can't be explained, we may never know. It appears to be a non-starter to even consider putting RNH on Draisaitl's wing and it's been that way for several seasons now.

I agree.I’d give him more time. I’ve always liked him in Nashville and LA and still thinks he’s going to finish the season with 20+ goals.
They definitely werent.Crazy to have a game like that and the top line was still awful.
In fact Nuge scored and both he and McDavid were +2 on the night. Nuge was on the ice for the first goal and McDavid the second. As a line they were 12-6 in scoring chances with a 70% xGF%.They definitely werent.
They generated tons of chances, just couldn't finish one.
Not to mention all of the chances that Hyman had. Sooner or later they will start going in for him.In fact Nuge scored and both he and McDavid were +2 on the night. Nuge was on the ice for the first goal and McDavid the second. As a line they were 12-6 in scoring chances with a 70% xGF%.
