That's a worse D than EDM

Is it tho?
Rielly > Kelfbom
Nurse ~= Hanifin
Larsson (overrated as all hell) > Ceci
Bear ~= Dermott
Marincin ~= Russell
Rosen ~= whoever the Oilers stuck as the 6th man.

The entire right side is worse
Larsson>Ceci
Bear>>>>>>Marincin on his offside
Benning=Dermott on his offside

You largely underrate Dermott. That is the value discrepancy. He is roughly equivalent to Bear.
And Marmar isn't any worse on his off side.

Thank god the leafs drafted smarter 😂

maybe this team could actually win a playoff series

you do know the Oilers have won more playoff series in the past decade than Toronto right

hey the Leafs try their hardest

ok lib

I mean, if they were built like the oilers than Tavares wouldnt have come here

And you largely underestimate Matt Benning.
+ Bear is in his first season, already playing tougher minutes then Dermott and has been more successful when not playing on the top pair. Don’t even get me started with all the things wrong with Marincin’s game because he’s the epitome of a bad dman. Not to mention, the Oilers defense is actually a pretty well-rounded competent d-core when Klefbom isn’t injured and Kris Russell isn’t playing. It’s a pretty competent d-core. Marino, which you’ve made several references to would’ve been an Oiler if the Oilers didn’t have an actual prospect system with defense; Jones, Bear, Bouchard, Berglund, Broberg, Lagesson, Day, Kemp, and Kesselring.

I don't have time to dissect this response and show just how wrong you are, but oh well.

I was considering this possibility but decided to leave it so that I could make the team like the Oilers have with one of their centres on the wing.

Well, there must be something the Oilers have done right since they’re pretty much in the same place as the Leafs in the standings without a bottom 6.

And here comes the typical : : the East is much stronger than the west.
