Not especially impressed with any of the auditions on D this late into camp. Thought Emberson would show better, honestly but he's also only had 30 NHL games. Skinner (F) also looks.. not great. Arvidsson at least shows some speed and a semblance of a defensive conscience.
We also haven’t been able to see Emberson with Nurse.

Desharnais got beat wide by Corey Perry of all people.

I think by the end of the season we will all agree it was a good move by the Oilers to walk away from $2 million per year.
Desharnais, Broberg, and Holloway were all good value, depth players at their previous salaries. Canucks and Blues deciding to give them big raises reduces their value significantly on a cap league

If you feel like they are meh tonight, remember that we don’t have Ekholm, Bouchard, Nurse, Nugent-Hopkins, Hyman, and Kane lol.

A lot of those guys have the missing ingredients lol
True

Our #1 d pairing, consisting of the first unit pp quarterback and best 2-way defenseman on the team, our #1 goal scorer, and our best 2 way forward on the team

Add in McDavid and Draisaitl are on cruise control, against a team sour and hungry to avenge the playoff elimination, and this game means next to nothing in regards to what will happen in the regular season
