I’d take Oilers forwards over the stars all day, and the stars D is comically thin. If Tanev couldn’t play they were going to play a rookie in his first NHL game? And regularly playing Suter and Petrovic?
Would definitely give the goaltending to Dallas though.

Edmonton D is so weak, they are healthy scratching their defensemen. Regularly playing Nurse and Ceci? Kulak? Desharnais? Oh wait, he's a healthy scratch now. They put in Broberg who hasn't been with the team since November.
Dallas can ice 3 full lines of 50 point players (with Stankoven prorated over a full season).
Edmonton can ice 1 full line and 2/3 of a 2nd line with 50 point players.
Edmonton is leading the series but it's not over. 1 win tomorrow from Dallas and all the pressure back on Edmonton to not choke a 3-2 lead on Dallas home ice. Trying to act like Edmonton has any superiority over Dallas besides the draft lottery twins is a joke.
