Yeah I'd do that as a Sabre fan

sabres seem like the best fit for koskinen since you have the cap space and your starter is Aaron Dell now.. lol

why kassian

cause he has offensive upside and adds a physical presense to the top 6.

also gives more depth throughout the lineup. third line looks better without kassian on it imo

I just want the 2nd - winning is not part of the game plan

Personally I think these should be the lines:

Hyman-McDavid-Foegele
RNH-Drai-Yama
Benson-McLeod-Turris
Archi-Ryan-Kassian

Line 1 plays with speed and Hyman and Foegele are puck hounds and put in tons of work. They will get the puck to McDavid and both can finish his setups
Line 2 has had great chemistry so no need to break it up
Line 3 is super young with Benson and McLeod so Turris provides experience for those two rookies. Benson has tons of potential imo and needs to get at least 3 line minutes to produce. Turris is still a good bottom 6 player and needs to play in the lineup 100%
Line 4 is your vet line that can shut down other teams top lines if necessary. Kassian should be on the ice as little as possible as the Oilers are going for a skilled team, not a goon squad. I know Kassian is very fast and can energize the team but he should be doing that on the 4th line, not the 2nd

The D pairings are going to be terrible no matter how you slice it because Barrie and Ceci are both going to get nearly 20 mins a night. Only good pairing is Russell-Bouchard

youre just forgetting about puljujarvi

Lol play him 4th line instead of Kassian. Puljujarvi hasn't impressed me one bit. All he does is finish some of McDavid's chances.
