So with the Neal deal, we are probably looking at something like:

Draisaitl - McDavid - Kassian
Neal - Nugent-Hopkins - Chiasson
Granlund - Haas - Gagner
Nygard - Khaira - Archibald

Jurco, Cave

Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Russell
Jones - Benning
Persson

Koskinen
Smith

Thoughts:

- The RWers are still a hot mess. I actually don't mind Gagner and Archibald in the 3/4; I don't love Kassian and Chiasson at all in the Top-6 (a fourth liner and someone who rode an unsustainable shooting percentage the first half of last season). I think they may disappoint in these roles.

- Haas as a 3C has a ton of question marks and risk; Cave and Brodziak are incapable of covering that bet if it goes poorly.

- Neal as a Top-6 winger is far from certain, but there is at least a chance he may be able to rebound and fill that role. We will see.

- The left side and 3 of the 4 centers... look decent?

- Russell on the second pairing is still a poor solution. They need a real, puck-moving, established RHD to play with Nurse; this is one of the biggest needs, and unfortunately the Oilers watched a lot of these guys change addresses this summer without any of them landing in Edmonton.

- We still don't have a #1 goalie.

- Inadequate positions on the team still: 1RW, 2RW, 3C, 2RD, 1G. Today was a good trade; there is still some serious work to be done.

I'd still leave 2LW as inadequate. Given Neal's age, I think you have to assume last year wasn't just a blip and that his decline has begun. He may outperform last year's pace - a very low shooting percentage suggests luck could have had something to do with it (he had TWICE the shots Lucic did in 9 less games), but I think it's unlikely he's pushing 50 points ever again.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
