McDavid is amazing. Draisaitl is fantastic. Puljujarvi has amazing potential, remember the outrage when Columbus passed on him? And even Klefbom is no scrub, easily potential to be a number 2 defenseman.
The fortunate problem with the Oilers is that they drop off quite quickly beyond these guys. But only the most homer of fans can't see they deserve to be number 1 on this arbitrary list.

Maybe we are saying the same thing - I think that depth is important and really agree with bolded above. If you restrict the list to top 4 then yes sure they can be number 1.
Also agree that this is just an arbitrary list with cut off being 4 cause it rhymes with core.
Would you agree that the Oilers probably should not be number 1 if we considered more than 4 and thought about balance - good dmen, forwards and goalies?
