I'm not one to defend the Oilers but it looks like they are actually bringing their second and third line centres, their first line right winger, their second line left winger, and top defensive pairing.
Now their top defensive pairing and Sam Gagner don't exactly inspire fear, but our line up makes my stomach turn.
It's going to be a very long season.
