This team was put together by using evolving hockey's model of xOff/60 GAR for defenseman and Off/60 GAR for forwards in the 2020-21 season with position, contracts, and TOI taken into account.
Missing two more oilers. Leon obviously and Barrie who lead all d in points last year.
No cap room for Draisaitl, Barrie ranks 27 in xOFF/60 while Ekblad and Petry are 3 and 4. Even if there was cap room for a $4+ million defenseman, there are still better options available.
