Description

I think its imperative that we try out Benson in McDavid's LW in place of Neal who we know is just 'okay' on there.
Kassian kind of makes Neal redundant on that line so another playmaker in Benson might be worth looking at to see if there's a spark he can provide just like how Yamamoto is the key to making the Nuge-Drai combo work so well.

If it doesn't work out, there's always AA (who I think the Oilers should be targeting above anyone else) or Neal to claim that top LW slot.

If AA, Neal, or Benson yields similar results riding shotgun to 97 and 44 then AA should be looked at as a 3C between Neal and Chia, two big bodies who could be a viable option together down the stretch.
