Hasn't Maroon been on the 3rd line for most of the series? I don't see him in the long-term cards unless he re-ups for cheap.

Because the Hawks have managed to draft pretty well and insert good young players into the line up when they lose guys.
The Oilers have shown they are terrible at drafting outside the top 5 and really drafting 1st overall before they were gifted a generational talent.
