A. None of those three are defencemen (how the Oilers decided to go for offensive forwards Skinner and Arviddson over an experienced Dman is beyond me).
B. Their ages are 32, 34 and 31 repectively (on top of having everyone else except McDavid and Draisaitl over 30). Holloway and James Hamblin were the only forwards under 28. It's similar on D. Younger Dmen are Bouchard and no one else aside from Broberg. And aside from 34 year old Ekholm and "hole in game" Bouchard, their D sucks.
