their bottom 6 has been bad and they they're being carried by their top 6...their "Depth" is a myth
and saying "if it weren't for Draisaitl and Talbot, Oilers don't win as many games as they did" is akin to saying "if the Ducks don't have Getzlaf and Silfverberg, they don't win as many games as they did"

so, no credit for Maroon, Benning, Caggulia and Larsson? ok then



the Oilers had a 2-goal lead in 5 of the 7 games...the Ducks were lucky the Oilers inexperience (and refs) shone through cause the only game where they looked dominant was Game 7
Maroon looks good because of McDavid. Ferland would pot the goals Maroon does playing with McDavid.
Benning is a decent bottom pairing defenseman. Hardly worth any praise.
Caggulia chose Edmonton. College free agent with choice of any team. McDavid effect. Hardly due to Chiarelli.
Chiarelli gave up a franchise forward for a 2nd pairing defenseman on most teams.
