Part of the Oilers problem is I think they have too many players who I deem dimensionless on their team. I guarantee that I will be called a neanderthal in my views and will be bombarded with another rant about how my views of a bottom 6 are wrong and that the sole job of the bottom 6 is to outscore the opponent. I am not advocating for goons to be in the bottom 6, I am advocating for guys who do something on the ice when you aren't scoring.

I look at who played bottom 6 for the Oilers last night and 4 out of the 6 did little to nothing on the ice to impact the game.
McLeod - no shots, not hits, no points, 29% on faceoffs. He isn't hard on pucks, not hard on the forecheck, not tough, not a threat to score or generate a lot of offense. He does kill some penalties. But other than that, doesn't impact the game much. What's his dimension that helps the team win in a tight checking game like that?

Ryan - no shots, credited with 1 hit, no points, 60% on faceoffs. He isn't hard on pucks, not hard on the forecheck, not tough, a bit undersized, not a threat to score or generate a lot of offense. He does kill some penalties. But other than that, doesn't impact the game much. What's his dimension that helps the team win in a tight checking game like that other than win the odd faceoff?

Shore- 1 shot, credited with 2 hit thought I can't recall them, no points, 29% on faceoffs. He isn't hard on pucks, not hard on the forecheck, not tough, a bit undersized, not a threat to score or generate a lot of offense. He doesn't impact the game much. What's his dimension that helps the team win in a tight checking game.

Holloway - 1 shot, 3 hits. No points. Now he's a young player who I think needs more development time so I will give him a pass. But right now, he's not doing a lot to help the team win and at times he makes some really bad giveaways.

Not one of those guys blocked a shot.

I thought Janmark and Kostin were impactful.
Janmark had a couple of hits, blocked 2 shots, was great on the PK, generated some chances. Missed the net a few times but he was dangerous. He was noticeable.
Kostin was impactful. 3 shots, a couple of them dangerous. Rang one off the post that doesn't count. 6 hits including rocking Doughty a key player for the Kings. When he was on the ice, he got noticed and did something. He was buzzing and deserved a goal for his efforts.

The Oilers need more guys like Janmark and Kostin who are going out there and making an impact. Whether it's generating scoring chances, being physical, forechecking hard. Do something.

When he comes back and maybe he was hampered by injury, Yamo needs to do something. For 13 games, you didn't notice him much. He was just there. With Kane down, they need him to be impactful and at 3 mill, he has to do more including produce. If he gets top 6 time, he has to score.

JP we are at 17 games now and he has 1 goal where he happened to get a piece of a Nurse shot as he cruised through the very high slot. I do like the fact that he is being a little more physical but he has 25 shots in 17 games. That's not enough. Like Yamo, at 3 mill you have to score especially when you are getting top 6 time. Breaking up the odd play and making the odd body check isn't worth 3 mill.

Too many passengers on this team once again.
