Adding Jeff Skinner and Victor Arvidson does not make them the best forward group in the NHL I'm sorry. Arvidson is injury prone and skinner is washed, I just dont see them as the best, also I think the defense needs more depth
Skinner has more goals in the last three years than Eichel, Marchand, Marner, and the same number as Tavares. 5 on 5 he in the top 10 for goals per hour in that span too. I don't think he's "washed", he's just been stuck playing on bad teams.
Arvidsson had a lot of injuries last year, but still scored at the same 0.3 goal per game rate (roughly) as he has in previous years. 27 goal rate roughly.
No one's asking these guys to come in and carry anything, the Oilers already are the best the best overall offense in the league the last several years.
Just come in and finish some feeds from McDavid and Draisaitl and RNH.
