Playoff roster

Created by: StopBeingAHomer
Team: 2020-21 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 21, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Should have gotten a top 6 left wing in the trade deadline, but alas, nope.

It's pretty cut and dry, the LW on the fourth line can be filled by Kahun or Shore. If Kassian is engaged, he can play on that line with Haas centering.

Third line had some success earlier in the season. Ennis is a skilled player and should be in the lineup every night, but isn't because they refuse to admit he's not a top 6 winger. Khaira has proved grit every night and if he stops getting knocked out, he and Archibald would be a good checking line.

the DRY line should have been put together long ago. I have no idea why it hasn't, but this was their most successful line in many years. So keep them together.

Now for the top line, McDavid and Puljujarvi are a must, but McLeod could be a stretch. Yes he's a center, yes he's never played wing, but converting a smooth skating center to a winger for his first few NHL seasons is no unheard of. He is a big dude that has played exceptionally well in the NHL, and if he rots in the press box like Bouchard, I, along with every other logical Oiler fan will be unhappy. Give him a few games with McDavid.

As for the defense.

Nurse and Bear should have been paired up a long time ago. Bear has finally turned around his game and it's time to pair him back with Nurse.

Jones can move the puck and is a solid defender in his own end. Larsson can't move the puck, but he is a physical cycle break. He's also a veteran that'll never be taken out of the lineup.

Lastly is the Kulikov-Barrie line. Barrie isn't a great defender, but that's not what he's paid for. He's paid to move the puck and put points on the board, which he has done well this season. Playing him with a stable defense partner like Kulikov will help him more than playing with Nurse, who is also more offensive.

Obviously you have Smith in net, unless you want Koskinen to allow a goal on the first shot again.

As for the Powerplay, it's about ****ing time you take Chiasson off that unit. He's a blackhole on offense and can't defend. Give me Archibald and Kassian as the right wingers over Chiasson any night. Puljujarvi is taller (I'm convinced this is the only reason why Chiasson is on the PP) and way more skilled.
