I think it’s going to cause problems.
Why fix something that’s not broken? Whether we like it or not the Oilers had some pretty solid special teams work. With Barrie in the fold, it’s going to ruin the PP1 chemistry. McDavid and Draisaitl need the puck to make plays happen, now they have to give it to someone else who is not even half of what they can do.
