It's difficult to say a lineup for this team because Woodcroft often changes the lineup based on who we are playing, but I can tell you two things that I hope you take as constructive:
--The McDavid-Draisaitl duo do not usually play together, and the recently made Kane-McDavid-Yamamoto line have been on fire, so it's very unlikely that those two would be on the same line, especially when they are both very much capable of carrying their own line. The McDavid-Draisaitl duo is and should be thought of as superpunch in a video game: it is very powerful but should be used sparingly because it drains stamina.
--Derick Brassard should not be on the powerplay. I do expect his offensive numbers to improve with the Oilers, but he is still very much a guy who is there for defensive, he has failed to put average offensive numbers this year and should not be relied upon for a powerplay. In his place should be McLeod, who has been very fun to watch this season and his puck-handling and line-pushing abilities have improved a ton this season.
--I personally believe Bouchard and Barrie should swap, but Woodcroft typically switches them based on how hot or cold they are.
