Published: Apr. 13, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Kane is a problem, he doesn’t like being in the bottom 6 but he’s not playing well for the top 6 so figuring out where he goes causes issues throughout.


Each line is setup to have a finisher, distributer and a puck retriever.


PP2 is following same formula as PP1 just with weaker players.

Clearly you didn't watch the game last night!

Also, your lines are terrible. Nugent-Hopkins hasn't been a full time center for 3-4 years now, he's not getting thrown into that for the playoffs.

Nugent-Hopkins - McDavid - Hyman is almost a given.

I'd like to see more of the Holloway - McLeod - Perry line, I thought they've looked good the past couple of games.

That leaves some combination of Draisaitl, Foegele, Kane and Henrique for the 2nd line. I think Henrique works best at center, so I'd have him on the 4th line with Janmark / Ryan / Brown / Carrick as a shutdown line.

I did watch, but maybe my eyes weren’t good enough Sticking Out Tongue

I also loved the Holloway - McLeod - Perry line and would like to see that, I just don’t think Kane can be trusted to produce or defend in the top 6 and struggle on where he would go without causing arguments with players on that line.

Kane seems to be good at scoring when the table is tilted downhill on the opponent, but not clutch game breaking like what we need in the playoffs.

Considering he has 16 goals in 27 playoff games as an Oiler - coming off a career-threatening wrist injury for 12 of those games - I wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion on Kane.

Here's an excerpt from the Edmonton Journal regarding last night's game: #91 Evander Kane, 7. The best of the Oilers on the night. Continued to shoot in bad luck, ringing the post and crossbar with consecutive shots about a second apart. Turned playmaker on both Oilers goals, earning a primary assist with a sharp pass to Henrique on the 1-1 and a secondary with an early pass and more impactful goalie screen on the 2-2. A failed clearing pass led to a dangerous Arizona chance in the late going. 8 shot attempts, 7 hits and a going concern all night. GAS: ES +5/-1; ST 0.
