Not surprising most are picking the Oilers, on paper they are the better team.
Van top 9 lines:
Suter - Miller - Boeser
Hoglanders - Petterson - Mikheyev
Joshua - Lindholm - Garland
Oilers top 9 lines
Henrique - McD - Hyman
Nuge - Leon - Kane
Holloway - McLeod - Perry
Top line, the Oilers have the edge.
Suter is a career 3rd liner, Henrique a career top 6.
Miller is very good but McD is better.
If a Canuck fan wants to say it's a saw off between Boeser and Hyman. Sure.
2nd line, Oilers have the edge.
Kane/Nuge are better, more proven, legit top 6 players. Hoglander/Mikheyev are ideally 3rd liners.
Leon is a better overall center than Petterson
3rd line, maybe the edge is Van.
Lindholm is a more proven probably better all around center right now than McLeod.
Joshua is a very good 3rd liner and Garland is more experienced than Holloway. Perry is unknown.
Van Defense.
Hughes - Hronek
Soucy Myers
Zadorov Cole
Edm defense
Ekholm Bouchard
Nurse Ceci
Kulak Deharnais
1st pairing. Hughes and Bouchard play the same role. The supreme offensive, puck moving, PP QB. Hughes has a small edge. Ekholm is a better all around dman than Hronek. So maybe the first pair is a saw off.
2nd pairing, edge Oilers. I take Nurse over Soucy any day and I don't think it's close. Ceci - Myers. Toss up. Maybe small edge to Myers but not enough to make up for the edge of Nurse.
3rd pairing, edge Oilers. Playoff Kulak and his skating is better than Cole and I don't think it's close. Zadorov Desharnais. Maybe slight edge to Zadorov but not that much if any.
If the Canucks had Demko, he would level the playing field for the series potentially. Based on what a Van guy said on Gregor's show, doesn't sound like he will play. Head to head, I would take Skinner over DeSmith and it's not close. Silovs who knows. He looked good against the Preds but who scores on the Preds?
