It's still early but I definitely do want to see the bottom 6 guys popping in the odd goal soon. What I do find a bit encouraging is as what was mentioned, the bottom 6 seems to generate chances, zone time and they seem to be able to continue the momentum of the top line. Too often, the McDavid line would create chances and momentum and then as soon as another line was out there, it was all gone. More times than not, we see the McDavid line do their thing, then the rest of the lines continue that on. So hopefully the chances go in soon.

One change that they should look into making for the game against Philly: sit Khaira in favor of Haas. Jujhar had an absolute stinker of a game last night.

I while not spectacular, I thought Haas was showing signs of steadily getting better. He brings good speed, right handed center and I thought he showed some skill. But I don't blame the team for sitting him. If I was the coach, I wouldn't be sold on playing the same bottom 6 guys every game unless they are playing well. I have thought that Sheahan has been real good. I have actually liked Nygard's game. His speed is such and asset, he creates turn overs and he's more physical than I expected. The only thing that needs work is his board play a bit. But he's been solid. I haven't mind Chiasson's game. Other than that.

Khaira has been decent on the PK but has done nothing else.
Archibald see what I said for Khaira. He's only been in 3 games so maybe he gets a pass for now.
Granlund has been good on the PK but hasn't done much else.

I know the PK is important and was a reason the Oilers lost games last year. So they have to be a bit careful with who they sit but just being good on the PK can't be the only reason you play.


I don't mind non-productive bottom 6 guys not getting comfortable. Sit a couple guys and tell them why.
