The Oilers need to change up who's on the PK to shake things up.
I would try Foegele. I get he had a bad giveaway but he played on the PK in Carolina so try him.
I keep seeing how much of an elite defender JP is. Well throw him out there, let's see if he is.
What do you have to lose, give up more PP goals? They gave up 4 last game.

I noticed the teams that have the best PK vs. the Oilers have PK'ers that are quick, and have some degree of physicality to take people off of pucks, and able to put constant pressure on the puck carrier..
I don't think Foegle is fast enough.. McLeod is effective because of his speed, but he can't (or won't) take guys off the puck.. Ryan, Yammo.. too slow and small.. RNH is good enough.. same with Hyman.. the defence is a complete mess though.. pretty weak presence over all.. mostly lack of smarts..
Here's some interesting stats..
Oilers are tied for 4th in the NHL in no. of defensive zone giveaways
Rebound shots against.. Oilers are 5th

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
