They finally dumped the boys club upstairs.
Got a real NHL coach.
Hall is an elite LW.
McDavid is generational.
Eberle is a very good RW
RNH is a great #2C
Yak, Pouliot, Draisaitl are all good second line options.

Okay lets just take this one point at a time, objectively:
Old boys club: yep, both lowe and Mactavish are still within the organization, so glad they have finally put that to rest...
Coach: wait and see on how he does but you are casually ignoring the fact that he got let go by SJ for a reason (not winning).
Hall: Scores goals, injury prone, worst hockey sense I've ever watched out of an "elite LW"
McGeneration: Past Generational talents: Tavares, Stamkos, Crosby, Mackinnon list goes on. He likely will be good, but I honestly have no clue what Generational means anymore
Eberle: Still living off his World Jr. success and his epic dangle against ian white. Terrible defensively, doesn't work very hard for a soft player, expects his "soft mitts" and "sick celeys" to make noise for him.
RNH: Strong skater, skilled hockey player, competes hard on both sides of the puck. Too soft a game to ever be a true #1 in the tough, heavy western conference.
Yak: worst +/- 2 years running (i believe). nuff said.
Pouliot: Career stats padded due to playing with Stamkos. Bottom six winger, he is really just a bigger bodied Mason Raymond.
Daisaitl: Lets see how he recovers from being thrown into the lions den last season.
Give it a rest bud, nobody is fearful of the Oilers forwards, until the oilers forwards decide to do something about it.
