Its kind of a catch-22 situation you've set up.

They have better linemates most nights but Oilers fans are selling better depth with guys like Hyman and Kane on the team. It's not like Leon is playing with Foegele and Kassian every night last year either.
All I'm saying is Leon's line is good but not great. If it's just a good line with Hyman and Yamaoto then that bottom 6 becomes a problem. If the Oilers had a good 3rd line then his line being a good 2nd line might be all that is needed with McDavid on the top line.
The Oilers lack of depth, they can't afford Leon's line to be good. They need a Malkin and Crosby scenario.
