Who's their number one defenseman and starting goaltender? Sorry but as good as McDavid can be he's just one player in a true team sport.

#1 defenceman?
I thought the Oilers had 4-5 Giordanos.
On a more serious note, RNH has been consistently outplayed by Monahan in his rookie and sophomore years. Gaudreau is a stud and I would rather have him on my team than Taylor Hall.
Yakupov is a disaster.
Sam Bennett is looking to be a stud and thus neutralizes Draisaitl at worst.
McDavid???? Well there's the x-factor but our defense and goaltending trumps the Oilers.
Joni Ortio, Jon Gillies, Mason MacDonald.....
One player isn't going to turn the Oilers around...
Bob Hartley over any coach that Oilers can possibly sign other than Mike Babcock.
