Description

Without a doubt in my mind the oilers management made it clear by saying strome is naturally a centre and will play as a centre which only means RNH is either getting moved to wing or traded. So let's make a good RNH trade and target a young puck moving d man

I also think the oilers signed josi to mentor puljaravi which both with play third line. This is what I think will happen

If the Oilers are set on having Strome as a C that tells me that they'll likely go with McDavid-RNH-Strome down the middle and put Draisaitl back on McDavid's wing. Jokinen can play both wings, so it could look like this;

Maroon-McDavid-Draisaitl
Lucic-RNH-Puljujarvi
Caggiula-Strome-Jokinen
Slepyshev-Letestu-Kassian

Could be right but regardless I'm sure they're going to move RNH cap hit to allow some space to sign some others roster talents. I also think Jokinén was signed to play on a line with puljaravi Jussi is a very smart Finnish hockey player and mentor puljaravi

Definitely agree. No way Slepyshev is playing in the top 6. I'd like to see a deadline deal to pick up JVR and his expiring contract, and slide him in with Strome and Caggiula on the right side. Then have a 4th line of Jokinen, Letestu and Kassian
