Description
ok well this is probably the worst imaginable way to start the year

kane-mcdavid-brown simple has not clicked so far, brown and mcdavid dont seem to have that OHL chemistry going, so play brown with leon, see if they can start something.
evander kane has simply been invisible the last 2 games, and he was like that at the end of last year too. last season he had the excuse "oh his health was holding him back" this year, he cant fall back on that. until he can get his give-a-crap mentality back, he cannot play in this oilers top 6. dylan holloway has been probably our most consistant player so far, and in the brief time he spent with mcdavid last year looked pretty good, stick him with mcdavid for a game or two, and work from there.

ceci and nurse is a damn liability, gonna have to live with that tho until the deadline and we can boot ceci into the sun.

campbell gets the start, skinner has allowed 8 goals on 34 shots, which is simply not good enough from an nhl goalie. campbell had a great preseason, which earned him the opening night start, allowed 4, but you could argue 2 of them werent his fault. go back to soup, hopefully one of your 2 nhl goaltenders can give you consistency.

Do you think we need a 4th line centre?

Absolutely. I love Ryan, but he's defs lost a step and is too slow to be a center imo. Not sure what all is out there atm.

I'm in agreement with these lines, although, i'd switch up RNH and Holloway. RNH and 97 seem to have chemistry.

More comments/thoughts:
- I think Brown will bounce back. ACL injuries take time. Though, I don't think he's going to be as good of a top 6 player as he was sought out to be. He will still be an upgrade over Yamo and Jesse.
- I'm worried about Kane. Last year, injuries was defs an excuse. But he looks like he almost lost a step maybe, which isn't surprising because he's 32. What's more concerning is his lack of finish. He was never someone who had a great shot, but he's not doing what he did when he first started with us (ie getting into the right position for a goal/shot) and keepings whiffing on shots.
- Kane on the third line is not much of a demotion imo, but the third line has no finishers, so he could complement them well.
- We basically have no fourth line. Its just Janmark. Ryan should be a 13th forward, Erne should of never been signed, a new center should have been acquired and Lavoie should be with the team.
- Defensively, i think part of the issue is adjustment to a new system. They will come back around, but hopefully it will happen ASAP.
- Broberg looks good as he's ever looked. Which is really promising if we move him up to a top 4 role.

As Hyman said, no one would bat an eye if we lost 2 games in a row in the middle of the season, so why panic now. Hopefully its onwards and upwards from here!!!!
