Man I hate preseason hockey. Nothing but NHL regulars going 75% and watching PTO guys and AHLers crusiing around trying to light up guys to make a name for themselves. Then getting to see fans on social meeting freaking out because as example, the Oilers PP in game 3 of the preseason wasn't lighting up the Canucks. Was McD and Leon going 100% on the PP? I doubt it. Were they over passing? YES. I am sure they were trying to get puck touches. McD's face after scoing the OT winner said it all. He looked like he couldn't get off the ice fast enough because he knew it meant squat.
I wish it was 5 games.
Game 1 is your give the rookie his game game. You fill the team with rookies and AHLers and PTO guys. A barely 18 yr old having a bunch of NHLers on PTO's looking for work or 28 year old AHLers leaning on him is going to be more than enough of "welcome to the pros kid, here is how fast and strong we are" moment. I wouldn't worry about "NHL experience" make it pro hockey experience as the requirement.
Make some cuts.
Game 2-3, you sprinkle in a few vets to get the hands and feet going but again it's mostly AHLers and PTO guys. If a rookie is still looking good, he's in.
Make some cuts.
Game 4, you are playing mostly your roster. The guys fighting for your 12, 13, 14th forward and 7, 8th dman are in.
Game 5, is your full roster.
The Oilers have 5 more games, 2-3 of them are going to be primarily made up of AHLers with NHL regulars sprinkled in playing to try and not get hurt.
