Our third and fourth lines have not only not scored, they've been caved in offensively too. Chiasson is -5, Turris is -4, Puljujarvi is -4, Ennis is -3, Archibald is -3, Khaira is -2. Those are the 6 worst numbers on the team.
Corsi tells a similar number. Saw a stat on Puljujarvi's numbers with the various centers he's played time with this year, and he's been very positive in the small time on ice with 97 and 29, but with Turris, they're getting crushed.
At bare minimum, if the bottom six aren't going to produce ANYTHING, then they can't be giving tons up. Right now they're doing both of those things, which puts a greater stress on the top players to outperform.

This is really the key point to me. I've been banging the goal differential drum for a while now, but realistically the Oilers should win the special teams battle on most nights (last night's game notwithstanding). And I think that we can expect that the top 2 lines will outscore the opposition overall (Drai is currently 5GF/1GA and McDavid is 4GF/3GA at 5x5 this season). So really, if the bottom 6 can just break even the Oilers will be more than fine.
This was my concern with the Turris signing. It really doesn't matter how many points he scores. If the opposition is scoring more when he's on the ice (and that's been the case the past couple years on good Nashville teams), then he's not helping the team. It's very early, so I'm willing to cut him some slack, but early returns are not great.

Yeah Turris has been a disappointment for me as well, really thought he'd do well here as a #3 C, but he's looked weak, and ineffective, at both ends of the ice. 4 games only, but he's not indicated many positive glimpses for me yet..
McDAVID! Oh YEAH Baby!!

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,
