3 Cups

I could see AA getting a seat just to take a breath. Moving from a new team, the only team you have known would be hard. Then you factor in going from a team who's been out of the playoffs for realistically months so the games mean squat. Then to go to a good team in the heat of a playoff battle where every single game matters and it's literally play by play would be really hard. Take his "mistake" on the Preds second. He didn't fail to cover a guy, he didn't make a bad pass or play. He got the puck, turns quickly to move up the ice and lost control of the puck. It happens all the time. I bet being that it was in Nashville and the ice would probably be not the best, that played a part. The smallest unfortunately mistake ends up in the net. So I bet he's a little overwhelmed and I am sure his confidence coming to the Oilers wasn't exactly sky high either.

Moving forward, I would sit Khaira long term. Sure he does decent on the PK …….. but what else? He's doesn't score. He had 2 10 bell chances against Winnipeg and couldn't score. He's a player that the puck tends to die on his stick. For a supposedly big, physical guy who is a bottom 6 guy fighting to keep his job, you'd think he would be trying to hit everything that moves and stir the pot. He had 2 hits last night. In a playoff type of game against the Jets, he had 1 hit. You have to do more than just kill penalties. In Chiasson, I think there is a better chance of getting a goal or him setting up a goal than Khaira.
