Let’s be real here, Oilers do not have a 2nd PP unit lol.Second unit could be interesting this year.
When everyone’s healthy could see some combo of
Skinner, Arvidsson, Kane, Henrique, Ekholm or Nurse. There’s definitely options and they could see more time than previous years.
Boeser
Debrusk Pettersson
Miller
Hughes
Not every powerplay lines up like thatThis is how you write PP lines:
---- x
x -- x -- x
---- x
Some folks are still writing it like there's two pointmen on your PP unit. There's only one.
Boeser is way better in front of the netYou don’t want DeBrusk anywhere but net front on the PP. He isn’t a quick thinking passer at all and he isn’t a long distance sniper either.
Boeser is way better in front of the net
Probably not to be honestSo then the question is if DeBrusk fits on PP1
My guess is
Tavares-Matthews-Nylander
Rielly-Marner
Plus skinner-henrique-arvidsson-nurse-ekholm or whoever they sign to the ptoThe exact same as always:
Hyman - McDavid - Draisaitl - Nuge - Bouchard
Not every powerplay lines up like that
hows he in terms of zone entries/play driving ability?
That is how you write PP lines. I write them like this x---x---x---x---x. Same number of dashes and Xs, but mine is in a lineThis is how you write PP lines:
---- x
x -- x -- x
---- x
Some folks are still writing it like there's two pointmen on your PP unit. There's only one.
I predict OEL will get a long look on PP1 in place of Rielly.My guess is
Tavares-Matthews-Nylander
Rielly-Marner
Both D for sure over Tuch?My guesses:
1st PP: Thompson, Quinn, Peterka, Dahlin, Byram
2nd PP: Cozens, Benson, Tuch, Zucker, Power
Could see them throwing Greenway out there as a net-front guy sometimes. Maybe McLeod instead of Zucker if they need somebody to skate the puck into the zone on the set-up.
Yes lmao if you needed a center you take Zib in a heartbeat.You as a neutral, would you consider trading for that contract if you ran an NHL team?
Go look at his stats (consider his drastic ES/PP splits) and the structure of that contract before you answer and then tell me if you think he’s a player that has positive value.
I think most Rangers fans would dump him today if it was that easy.
Need Jack to get to 40+% on faceoffs so we can stick Noesen on PP1 in place of Nico tbh.Devils will tinker a bit due to new coach. Usually they run 1 defender per unit, but I suspect it will be..
PP1: Jack Hughes, Timo Meir, Nico Heicher, Jesper Bratt and Dougie Hamilton
PP2: Eric Haula, Stephan Nosen, Ondrej Palat, Thomas Tatar and Luke Hughes.
Sometimes Jack Hughes will play the entire PP1. Simon Nemec also played a bit on the PP last year and I can see a 2 defender oriented PP2 if necessary.
I could see them on PP2 doing Eric Haula, Stephan Nosen, Ondrej Palat, Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec. As Luke is more of an offensive defensemen
Not sure what Coach Keefe will do but as long as the team is healthy, should be a wealth of options.
PP1 looks lethal especially the way Timo was playing the last 2 months of the season.
I'd love to work out a trade with you for Dawson Mercer then.Yes lmao if you needed a center you take Zib in a heartbeat.
"if you needed a center"I'd love to work out a trade with you for Dawson Mercer then.
I won't even get greedy and ask for Hughes or Hischier.
