Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

If nurse is injured we could be in trouble, but I like the kulak-ceci pairing and they could probably play against LA's top offensive line.
I expect Woodcroft to run 7D 11F because he just called broberg up and I think he would rather share Nurse's load across 7D rather than 6. Not to mention it gives the oilers a chance to double shift mcdavid/draisaitl or someone else

This is probably the setup for most of the series against the Kings. The Oilers function so much better as an 11F/7D squad as it really lessens the load on their average-at-best blueline corps.

Honestly, even if Nurse is okay-ish to go for Game 1, I wouldn't rush him in to the fold. I Probably wouldn't ice him until they've lost one or two: he'll be leaned on heavily in any subsequent series so getting him as much rest as possible now is crucial. Oilers in 5 so when that happens, mileage may vary,
