So... is the strategy to sign whatever you can bottom 6'ers to see if one of them can rise up to be in a top 6 role?
...or is it the hope?!
It's the hope isn't it? Yeah... hope.

As mightyreasoner's suggested, Holland's strategy seems to mirror the one MacTavish had to corner the market on third pairing defencemen. I'm sure it will work just as well.

WheatNOil did some interesting work around this and posted to twitter yesterday. Basically looked at primary points/60 and attempted to rank guys according to what level of line they were producing at.
There's a bunch of tweets that go into more depth, and I suggest reading them all. But the main 2 takeaways are:
| Quote: |
@WheatNOil:
Oilers FWDs by 3-yr primary points/60 tiered into lines
1st Line: 97, Drai, RNH
2nd Line: None
3rd Line: Gagner, Archibald, Chiasson
4th Line: Lucic, Kassian, Granlund, Khaira, Cave, Jurco, Brodziak
Rookie/Small Sample: Nygard, Haas, Benson, Gambardella, Marody, Currie, Yamamoto
|

@WheatNOil:
Here’s the thing: McDavid & Drai make a lot of money & they’ll cover the bet. When they make that much though, you need to have value contracts somewhere else. The Oilers don’t.
That Lucic contract buries them and they don’t have a lot of ELC sure-fires at forward.
|
Assuming that RNH drops down a line, who out of that bottom group is going to step up to produce on the 2nd line? Maybe Archibald, maybe Benson. Likely Chiasson gets some sort of push, but I'm really not sold on him.
My personal takeaway: trading RNH for anything other than a mint right now is crazy. As bad as that bottom 6 was/is, the Oilers aren't going anywhere without a functioning 2nd line and it just doesn't exist without RNH.
