In my opinion it comes down to the Oilers have WAY too many guys shooting blanks at the moment.
JP is hot and cold.
Nuge 2 goals in 25 games. It's nice that he gets all those PP assists but you won't win too many games when you have a top 6 player on a 7 goal pace. At least he's shooting a little. 13 shots in 5 games.
Yamo has 5 goals and 6 pts in 25 games. That's a 20 pt pace. Similar to Nuge is you won't win with a player putting up at poor of production. What's more concerning is he hasn't got a single shot on goal in 4 games and in the last 10 has 6. To put it into perspective, Foegele who's also snake bitten has 12 shots in 4 games.
I would make the following line changes and they are drastic to try to change it up.
Hyman - McD - Kassian - McD and Hyman seem to be a good pair so I keep them together. This isn't a promotion for Kassian for good play, its to mix up the lines and for a couple of games he did OK. I'd send a clear message to Kassian about his job.
Foegele - Leon - JP - Leon needs help. I have never liked Nuge and Yamo on the same line. Both are undersized, no one is an elite shooter, no one really goes to the net or gets pucks out of corners. So JP will provide someone to shoot for Leon's set ups. Foegele is the worker of the line. Goes hard to the net and even on the 3rd line seems to generate chances with not a ton of help.
Nuge - McLeod - Yamo - If you want to swap Nuge and McLeod, go for it but I don't think Nuge is a good enough center because of his faceoffs. The idea as a line is to have the puck more than the other team and if you can't win a faceoff, you are in chase mode right off the start. This line will be a soft line but my thinking is maybe they can get some scoring against some other teams 3rd lines.
My lines are using the Pittsburgh model of taking advantage of an elite center being able to elevate non top 6 players. So I paired a legit top 6 player plus added in a 3rd liner.
