Oiler lines at practice this morning (before heading out to Dallas):

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
Henrique-Draisaitl-Holloway
Foegele-McLeod-Ryan
Janmark-Carrick-Brown
Gagner-Perry

Kane not on ice.

Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-Desharnais
Kulak-Ceci

Good to see Henrique may be close to returning. Hopefully Kane's absence is just maintenance.

Still kind of hoping Gagner gets at least one game these playoffs--although it will probably take a couple injuries for it to happen; so maybe I'm not hoping for it.

What do you think Gagner would bring to the line up other than allow him to play in a playoff game wearing an Oilers jersey? I'm not meaning this to come at you, I am legit asking because I am all about winning and dressing the best guys to allow that to happen.

Personally, and this is just my opinion, I think dressing Gagner is straight up a sentimental thing for some fans. If they decided for the betterment of the team, that sitting Perry, considering he's got 206 playoff games of experience, a ring, been to the finals a bunch of times, he's big, he can mix it up, be a pest, plays a playoff style of hockey, and they thought their line up was better without, I can't see how Gagner is a better option over anyone else in the line up and I would dress Perry over Gagner.

As you said, I think there would have to be multiple injuries before Gagner got in. When Henrique is ready, one of Brown or Ryan will have to come out. Brown is a way better skater and very good on the PK. Ryan is very good on the PK and good on draws. I don't see how or why Gagner gets in.

I looked it up. To get your name on the cup, you need to have played at least 40 games in the regular season or 1 game in the final. Gagner only played 28 games. Now maybe if the Oilers were up 3-0 in the cup final, they might throw him in for 1 game just so he qualifies because I do think after this season he will retire and move into a player development role with the Oilers. I have read there was a job offer waiting for him. So if that is the case, maybe they throw him a bone so he gets on the cup.

MacT might have dressed up Gagner as the backup goalie in game 1 of the finals if we made it there.

Funny enough, both Perry and Gagner (x2) scored against dallas in our games against them this season. Gonna be a very different series. Smarts more than speed probably wins the day. Gotta think Perry gets back in. Gags probably if some guys have some weak games and just need a different look in the bottom 6.

When Henrique comes back, that means one of Ryan or Brown comes out. I don't see Carrick sitting, he was good in game 6 and 7. He brings some physical play, goes to the net, can kill penalties and is a right shot center that is good on draws. So that means you'd have one of Brown/Ryan and Perry available to swap out the bottom 6. I don't see how Gagner gets in over both of those.

Not impossible that one of those depth guys, Carrick included, as some rough games. Gotta see what happens. Sometimes helps to toss in a guy in mint condition and full of energy into the lineup, like with Carrick against the Canucks.
