Guest Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Arvi and Skinner are legit, so Edmonton has a strong top-9 forwards (much better than this recent playoff). If their d and g hold up, they can go back to the Cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, he'd be the only forward of that ilk up front, I think it could have worked. Be nice to have another top six guy with Boeser, Miller, Pettersson, and DeBrusk. May be able to yet though, not a whole lot of cap left. Tarasenko, Sprong, Roslovic, Tatar, Atkinson, maybe Zadina or Yamamoto.. Few others, but it's slim pickings as far as remaining offensive players go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 With the players we signed, even Debrusk, it's clear defensively inept players aren't high on the list of players we're after. Skinner is a ghost defensively and is non existent on the forecheck. Say what you will about Debrusk, but like Boeser he was a late bloomer defensively. We can at least use Debrusk on the PK if need be. And I trust our secondary scoring in the form of the 3rd line. It's the 2nd line that worries me, and Skinner isn't that guy imo.

Drakrami Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Skinner and Arvidsson are really nice secondary scoring. Defense if Broberg can step it up. Goaltender Skinner still sucks though, may be they can make a trade at TDL. Edited July 2 by Drakrami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Oilers have great depth up front now. 3 lines that can score and lots of options. Mcdavid, Draisaitl, RNH, Hyman, Kane, Skinner, Arvidson, Henrique, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanHockeyFan Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Can't lie, Edmonton's made some smart moves here. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a tight, two-horse race for the division between the Canucks and the Oilers this upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
