I don't like to be an armchair coach, but I would like to see the Oilers try a couple of things before training camp ends. Should be opportunities once the cuts for Bakersfield happen.
I'd like to see if Dylan Holloway can find some chemistry with RNH. I expect Holloway to be a top 6 winger, but some experience with a veteran like Nugent-Hopkins on the third line and PK wouldn't hurt.
Spector writes that the Oilers are going to be short of offence on the bottom 6, but I don't think this will be necessarily so. McLeod looks much closer to being a regular than I thought, and Yamamoto and Puljuarvi can move up and down the lineup depending on the situation. A few guys like Esposito and Benson seem to be having some difficulty bringing their AHL scoring to the NHL even in the pre-season, but might be guys who can be called up in emergency situations.I think the bottom six will be okay, provided they can do heavy lifting on the PK and shut down the opposition in tough situations
Fanti s going to be an NHL goalie some day, provided Schwartz and the rest of the coaches can do a better job of developing him than they did with Dubnyk, Brossoit, etc. In the meantime, I'm glad Pickard is in the organization, probably #3 in the pecking order.
The last year of Klefbom being on LTIR. He was great to watch as an Oiler when he was healthy. Wish we could see a healthy Klefbom play some more games for the Oilers.
Hope Nurse is healthy this season, even though he drives me nuts from game to game. On his best days, he's a Norris candidate. But sometimes he looks like a rookie (or Janne Niinimaa).
Go Oilers!!! I Know you are going to drive us crazy over the next few months, but sanity is over-rated anyways.
