If you're an Oilers fan you're praying they don't try to win with nothing but dynamic forwards. Unlike some I think having all those potential big contracts is doable, not easy but doable. You don't however, want all that money tied up in one area. Spread the big money around, get a goalie, get two quality guys on the backend.
Don't have a high end goalie or prospect.
Nurse is good, maybe top two? Not an elite guy on that pair though. They rave about Klefbom but he sits on the 2nd pairing. So that's it
Start shopping Eberle and one of Yakupov today. Gives you alot of options. Move Nugent-Hopkins or Draisatil to the wing at times if needed.
With McDavid fixing the Oilers is only a matter of not being a complete morons.
But.. Mactavish and Lowe are.

Yup. At this stage it's not rocket science on how the oilers could improve their team drastically this summer. Unfortunately for Oilers fans , MacT and Lowe are the only 2 that could screw this up and probably will.
