Description
Play all 3 of your centermen all 5v5 minutes and PP minutes.. play Khaira on wing and use him and Brodziak as PK centermen. All three of your top 3 centermen deserves more ice time and not being on wing which is stupid..

Draisaitl makes sense imo. He has such good chemistry with McDavid that it would be stupid not to have them together next year.

If they need to score in last 5 minutes or 10 minutes of game. Then sure make it that way.. but they should be getting those guys alone the rest of the game with good wingers that would work hard to score. As much as depth as possible. It just should not be full time thing imo.

I think the better option is RNH with McDavid, cause RNH doesn't really drive offense. Draisaitl is better and will put up more points with McDavid, but he'll also do way more on his own

I know you’ve traded him here, but I think Puljujärvi played best with Nuge. Jesse wasn’t ready for second line minutes or competition though. RNH is an expensive third line centre, but I think he’s the best guy to help Puljujärvi and maybe Benson along.

I agree with you, Jesse has defidnedly played his best games with RNH. They seem to have some chemistry.

It's pretty simple math, when you have no effing wingers one of RNH or Draisaitl have to play the wing.
If they can add one top 6 winger then they might be okay this season, gonna need a real good backup though, it's imperative they get a good backup.. Lol
RNH is way too good to be a 3C and really its not wise to have $27M tied up in your top 3 centers, see the Leafs for an example of how it's not gonna work.
Nothing wrong with using one of RNH or Draisaitl on the wing as it allows a spare center in case of injury.
It just doesn't make sense to use RNH at 3C when the Oilers don't have very good wingers on any line, like really who's the 3rd line wingers on the Oilers that RNH is gonna be able to do anything with anyway, either he or Draisaitl needs to be a LW on one of the top 2 lines.
