Got a real NHL coach. (Hopefulyl he can manage egos better then he did in SJ)
Hall is an elite LW. (He's a elite one way LW, he's not a complete package as a player which means he's not overall elite)
McDavid is generational. (Maybe, but maybe we should wait and see what he does in the NHL)
Eberle is a very good RW (softer then a poop on taco Tuesday, a liability defensively)
RNH is a great #2C (Agreed)
Yak, Pouliot, Draisaitl are all good second line options. (out of that I might agree with Pouliot, but I still think he's more of a third liner. Yak hasn't done anything to prove that, Draisaitl based on last year in the NHL isn't ready, you can talk about what he did in the WHL, but he'd better dominate in the WHL)
That right there is enough to be a little afraid of.
If they had more than a cardboard box for a goalie and someone other than the orange cones that they use for defensemen. They would be a dangerous.
Now the problem is that they aren't anywhere near competent on the back end. But grading their Forwards as a C is not realistic.

The forwards for the Oilers are just as much to blame for the ga and lack of offense as the blueline is.
