Team: 2018-19 Edmonton Oilers

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 26, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I think the Oilers stay put and hope last season was a write-off and will return to 2017 form.
New coaches bring in great track records with the PK and utilizing young players.

here is my logic
-Klefbom & Sekera were never healthy/ missed large parts of the season.

-Oilers will make the smart choice and send Bouchard back to London to work on foot speed and tempo

-Yamamoto is making the opening roster ready or not.

-Slepyshev has top 6 speed, shot and skill but needs an opportunity to showcase it
Example ( Letestu and Kassian were the supporting cast )

-The 1st and 3rd line will be very strong imo. The 2nd could really go either way. (trade?) ( bring back David Perron?)
Strome is not a strong centre and has shown well on Kharias wing. This would be a great spot of Pulj to
work his way to the top line if Yams earns an AHL stint.

- Beagle has strong faceoff numbers and brings SC experience.

- This team looks weak on paper (RW) walking into 2018/19 but I'd wager they come out of the gate hot this September.
** The right-wing has an average age of 22 and 82 games played... Yikes

A trade for Andreas Athanasiou's RFA rights would be interesting. Still wouldn't help the experience on the RW much.

Philly ain't interested in Kassian. He's a dud.
