Best Roster

Created by: GordM85
Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 3, 2021
Published: Aug. 4, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
These are the lines I would try for first 9 games

Assume Holloway makes most of training camp and plays a role they cant afford to send him down with his low cap hit and ability to score

I think Hyman does the dirty work JP did with McDavid so having them both on the same line is a repetition of duties, move his big body to do the same work with Drai.

I think Nuge can put up some numbers in softer minutes playing Centre on a line with softer minutes.

Greiss has a lower cap hit but actual dollars is 4.4million so Detroit maybe says for $100k of actual cash they can get a 2nd rounder and a guy who maybe makes their team. Both goalies UFA after the year and Greiss is German, so naturally a fit

So... why do you have Holloway and Puljujarvi on the same line then? And Foegele + Kassian?

I honestly don't mind how you've got the lines set up, but I don't necessarily agree with your reasoning.

I'm also not convinced Greiss is enough of an upgrade over Koskinen to warrant two 2nds.

I do not think he is really either...had decent numbers on a bad Detroit team

This is moreso the idea that the room needs a different face to be the 2nd goalie rather than looking down the bench again and seeing Koskinen there....I think his goodwill with the team is done

Why does everyone seem more willing to throw benson to the wind rather than play him see what he can do? High end second round home town boy that had he not had questionable health concerns easily would have gone much higher. He overcame the injury worries he’s been seasoned in the ahl and has been very dominate at that level just doesn’t make sense to me. Throwing in another second rounder on top of that seems like a very very high price to pay for I’m not even sure is an improvement. Aside from that wasn’t there reports suggesting while he was a ufa he would only sign with an American team?

Agreed - the Oilers need to see what they've got in Benson.

if they can get greiss and extend him 1 year for like 3 Million that would be serviceable. They cant afford a big name till Sekera and Lucic are off the books.

Nuge is not going to be 3C. The coach doesnt like him at center hes not heavy enough and cant defend down low well enough.

Nah, Holland will offer MAF a 3-year deal next summer, he'll only be 40 years young when it expires. I mean, SOMEONE has to take over Smith's spot eventually, right?
