Lucic-McDavid-Eberle
Pouliot-RNH-Draisaitl
Maroon-Caggiula-Puljujarvi
Pitlick-Letestu-Kassian

Klefbom-Larsson
Sekera-Russell
Nurse-Davidson

Talbot

That is not a good looking lineup to me.
The first line should be ok because of McDavid, but Eberle is soft as poop and defensively stupid and Lucic had no chemistry and couldn't keep up to McDavid

RNH is the best part of that second line, but it looks very sloooooow. Pouliot is a part time player at best, and Draisaitl faded badly last year

That third line is just a mismatch of where do we put them. Maroon is ok but a slug. JP it sounds like isn't NHL ready, I'm aassuming they have to keep him up due to horrible organizational depth and the loss of Versteeg

The best part of that fourth line is Kassian, other then that its 2/3rds garbage and Kassian is more apt to sitting in the penalty box after pulling a homer simpson.

The blueline is improved but its still probably bottom 5 in the west at best.

Talbot will have to be heroic. Its hard to believe after a generation of rebuild that this is their end result, and if they have any injuries what they have coming up is no good.

An Oiler fan recently asked on another board if their rebuild is over, looking at their lineup, yes it is, and its a horrible result.

McDavid can't save this ship.

Chia, has done a horrible job in the trades department.

Its time to relegate the oiler.
