Smyth (6'2, 191) - Gordon (6'0, 200) - Hemsky (6'0, 185)
Jones (6'0, 205) - Acton (6'3, 202) - Joensuu (6'4, 210)

Petry (6'3, 204) - J.Schultz (6'2, 193)
Ference (5'11, 183) - N.Schultz (6'1, 203)
Marincin (6'4, 201) - Belov (6'4, 218)

Now it's

Lucic (6'3, 230) - McDavid (6'1, 191) - Eberle (5'11, 181)
Maroon (6'3, 230) - Draisaitl (6'1, 214) - Puljujarvi (6'4, 204)
Pouliot (6'3, 200) - RNH (6'0, 189) - Kassian (6'3, 217)
Hendricks (6'0, 207) - Letestu (5'10, 197) - Pakarinen (6'1, 215)

Klefbom (6'3, 215) - Larsson (6'3, 205)
Davidson (6'2, 210) - Sekera (6'0, 198)
Nurse (6'4, 213) - Reinhart (6'4, 212)

I'd say things have changed. This line up needs a lot of work but it won't get pushed around like it has in the past. Big difference in the top 6 and defense.


Man, I wonder how small, skilled teams like the Pens and Blackhawks are going to handle the big bad Oilers?
