I saw an extremely undermanned due to injury/illness team lose to a very good but completely healthy team with a goalie that will be in the top 3 in vezina voting.
At forward, the Oilers had:
Shore - 10:29 - 1:11 PK - 2 shots, 1 hit
Malone - 8:07 - 1:53 PK - 3 shots, 0 hits
Benson - 6:37 - 0 shots, 1 hit
Sceviour - 5:20 - 0 shots, 1 hit
This isn't a Benson basing post so people can relax and put down your pitch forks for me. All of those players are not full time NHLers either right now or ever. The 3 vets are guys who can maybe be your 13th forward but during a season they aren't in your line up night after night. Benson who knows. Maybe he turns into something but right now, he's still working on finding his way. In my opinion, a team can have 1 of those type of players in their line up every night and be fine, you can't have 4 at once. When you are playing 4 of them due to injury, that forces your coach to play the crap out of the other 8 guys to compensate and your better players get worn down and tired.
When healthy, Nuge is in, JP is in. The contract isn't good but Kassian is a better player and is in over all of them. Taking the money issue out of it, Kassian is on the team before any of them on any NHL team. Archibald and all the issues with vaccine doesn't change the fact if he was available, he would be in over every guy on that list because he's better and that would be the same for every NHL team.
One defense, the Oilers had to play:
Niemelainen - 10:39 - 0.30 PK
Lagesson - 10:59 - 0.42 PK
Broberg - 22:34 - 2:43 PP, 2:09 PK.
Niemelainen, I like the player, I think there is a something there but he's not a full time NHLer yet. Lagesson, I am not a fan of because I don't see a dimension but I see him as at best a #7. Broberg has played excellent the last 2 games. I think he will be a good one but he's 20, he's not ready for full time NHL yet.. They were missing Barrie, Bouchard, Russell. When healthy, I think all 3 are in over the 3 above because warts and all, they are better players right now. I thought Niemelainen and Lagesson struggled a lot and their ice time shows they did which means you play the crap out the 4 guys that are decent and one of them is 20 who will make mistakes.
What I said doesn't change that the team make up has issues but when you have to play 6-7 guys who are either not NHLers yet at all, might never be NHLers again or are rookies learning on the fly, you won't win against too many teams.
