I believe the NHL and AHL were running similar systems - someone can correct me if they were but you'd think they would to make fairly easy transitions when guys get called up - so other than a tweak here or there, I wouldn't think he'd be changing a ton systems wise..

I will be interested in seeing if they go with 11 F and 7 dmen again. With so many inexperienced dmen right now, I think that might be the way to go.



**The below isnt my knowledge or opinion but rather something I saw in a twitter thread I have never seen the Condors play a full game**

Apparently the Oilers were running a very different system than the Condors.
The Oilers were running more of a F1, F2, F3 system. IE the forward role both in the O and D zone was dictated by the who was first into the zone.
The Condors ran a more traditional C down the middle and wingers on their sides system.

**This below is my opinion and thoughts**

The former allows for more freedom and creativity on O but can also cause a lot of confusion in their own end. It requires more thinking, read and react, type plays and might explain why the Oilers looked like a tire fire/modified swarm 80% of the time.

The 2nd requires the C to be more defensively responsible, higher in the O zone and quicker back to cover out front. It is much simpler and removes the ability to finger point. If a guy is uncovered in the slot it is the D or C. The point is the wingers. The KISS method of defending.



I believe these were all original thoughts of one Jason Gregor, were they not?

Ha ha ha!
