Unfortuately I don't think Cassidy is going to be able to do much with that roster.. defence is still weak.. bottom 6 is still weak.. overall too slow.. even guys like RNH don't bring it
Watch some of these playoff games.. every team has big, strong, fast, skilled players ALL THROUGH the line up top to bottom.. and they play with balls out intensity.. current Oilers line up would get crushed.. only thing that would keep them in a game would be McDavid and Leon.. and the PP.. which gets reduced in the playoffs.. can you imagine the Oilers playing any of the teams in the 2nd round?

Cassidy would be a good experiment in seeing if this roster is capable of playing proper defense. Sounds like he's an extremely demanding coach. He had Jack Eichel grinding like a madman in his own zone. No more flying the zone the microsecond that you think we'll get the puck back, only to realize you were 50 ft away as a grade A shot is taken on your net. Or skating big circles with popcorn as you watch your D try to battle for the puck back. Maybe we see some 5 men efforts around our net making sure wide open guys aren't picking up rebounds with an extra second to pick their spot.
Or maybe we just keep doing that lazy gambling garbage, and we really are doomed, and we have to wait until 2040 to win another draft lottery. At least we will know :)
