I am coming around to the idea of finding a high end center for line 2, and keeping Drai and McDavid together full-time for the backend of the season.

I prefer McD and Leon being separated just because in theory, most teams have a drop off from their first pairing to their second pairing defense. McD and Leon are easily 2 of the top 5 players in the world so if you separate them, one of them should be going up against a teams second pairing so I would think it gives the Oilers a slight advantage. But at the same time, if you could find that second line center, I wouldn't be opposed to keeping them together as they are soooo good.

The issue is who's that guy. In a perfect world, Nuge can turn into that guy. I've never thought he was a high end center.
