Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | The Oilers Biggest Roster Need Is?

Skinner, Arvidsson and Perry are all guys who all have games that should click on an effective PP unit. Maybe it's time to change the single unit dynamic and spread out some of the wealth.

Move RNH and Hyman down to the second unit, Skinner and RV up and see how the team responds.

We have enough talent where we can build 2 effective units. Hyman/Perry as two effective net front guys. Nuge/McD as 2 effective distributors. Skinner/Drai as 2 effective shooters. Bouch/Nurse as 2 effective QBs. Fill in with Brown/Henrique/Podz or whoever we need to get going and confident.

Hoglander is essentially Yamamoto now with that contract. If he doesn't start scoring, they may have to consider buying him out before his next contract even begins.

Hoglander is so bad, it makes the Josh Brown contract look good.

He always reminded me of Yakupov lol.

Do you want to feel very smart? They, at this second have the same NHL ppg at .39

Oilers not switching up the PP is just lazy / stubborn coaching. You don’t have to be married to the changes but right now the PP isn’t getting it done and it’s costing us games.

I don't mind that idea at all. Brings more urgency to the PP knowing they're competing against each other for minutes as well. If PP1 scores, they start the next PP. If they don't, PP2 starts. Starting unit gets 60-70 seconds

PP1
Hyman (net front)
Skinner (shooting threat) - Henrique (bumper) - McDavid (distributor)
Bouchard (shooting threat)

PP2
Perry (net front)
RNH (distributor) - Arvidsson (bumper) - Draisaitl (shooting threat/distributor)
Nurse

Yeh I was thinking if we do this, make it like PPA and PPB. Give them equal chances, and spread out the talent equally as well. And yeh they can compete amongst eachother.

Everyone's more confident when they are getting puck touches. And confidence breeds production. I like those units, we can work with that.

Blackwood to oilers! After he let in 4 goals on 11 shots last night we knew we needed that upgrade...

Don't hang onto your Skinner poster too long there bud. Blackwood looks like Patrick Roy next to Skinner thus year (on a worse team)

How do we have the hardest schedule all year lol!
