Ty Patrick! Love ur updates as usual!
Kaner > Kapanen > Arvidsson > Jeff Skinner, just personal pick
Thanks Patrick! Cheers.
Good roster imho.
Arvidsson will most likely just get injured the second he gets back,that's all he does on his career
I think your projected line up is bang on! Problem is knobby likes to have nuge on that 1st line. Then we are forced to play Ryan at 4C and I really don’t think he can keep up anymore.
Henrique ryan Perry can go bring up Savoie make some trades and make some waives
Podkolzin is not a second line player. He generates no offence. Kapanen is not an NHL player. Ryan is way past his due date. These are simple decisions
I like your projected lineup a lot, I would do the same thing too, but I’m not sure like what they will do I don’t want them to trade J skinner I like his game a lot he’s been playing very on the 3rd line.
Idk, just my personal thoughts.
But i know Bowmans gotta upgrade their goaltending situation
I'll be convinced on skinner if he manages to go through this year's playoffs without having to find himself. He's a great goalie dont get me wrong. But he's a kid. For a team who wants to win 4-5 years from now he's perfect. For a team that wants to win now, I don't think he's there yet.
the last 6 games we only faced 2 playoffs teams and went 1-1, next 5 games are all playoff teams this will show if we're actually back and rolling, lines wise it's gonna be very interesting to see what happens I've liked Kapanen more than brown
Derek Ryan won't be on this team by the deadline. Bob Stauffer pretty much confirmed this a couple of weeks ago
Like your roster. I think both Ryan and Skinner will be gone. Henrique has not been great either. Thanks for the update
One thing we haven't seen that we need to see is consistent wins against good teams. There's a run of games against tough teams coming up, and the Oilers need to show that they belong in that category.
Oilers are getting it together, playing well. Which is good -the next few games will be a solid test. Looking forward to it! Let's Go Oilers!
Dump Ryan
We don’t need to be shuffling are players like a deck of cards!
Yes
Kane and Hyman need to be with a great passer. With mcdavid
Nuge, Dineen, and the OIlers 2026 5th to Anaheim for Gudas and McTavish.
Oilers lineup should look more like this I think
Nuge McDavid Hyman
Kane Leon Arvidson
Podkolsin henrich Kapanen/Brown
Janmark Ryan Brown/Perry
I think keeping Perry out would make this team fast but then you take out the veteran with the Stanley cup history. Not sure if you can send anyone down but moving Nuge to center the third line won’t help with the way the top line is playing.
A very good morning Patrick and all Oilers from Germany. Thx for your thoughts and latest Infos!
Your line ups are very interesting. I think after the last game first line have to be Batman, Hyman, RNH, WITHIN RNH has to start up now. 2nd line Janmark, ROBIN, Podkolzin. 3rd Kane, Henrique, Arvidsson. 4th Brown, Ryan, Perry.
Kapanen disappointed me up to this moment also Skinner. But it is time to go!
Offense isn't the case, we do have different opportunities. Defense makes me anxious! Yes Skinner has a good wave, but what is about his Skinner moments, he had in the past?! We need a better coach for both!!!
Second is Bouchard after the not nomination for the Canadian roster. It is correct, he isn't as tough as Ekholm in defense and that counts! So we do have enough to train and doing better in the future, otherwise it is good to have the point we made! Cheers from cold Germany 🥶
You are the best Patrick! Don’t stress about not having all of the answers. Appreciate your angle and coverage
Oilers fully healthy have too many good forwards. They can’t really take any of the forwards off the roster. Good problem to have but a difficult one.
I'm looking forward to having Evander Kane coming back. He adds scoring and toughness. When healthy he's good for 30 goals.
Oddly quiet around Kane , they should swap Kane and Ardvy on LTIR, what's interesting is neither him or Henrique got any trade protection on their deals, after the offersheet fallouts I wonder if shrewd moves may be coming
Even if Derrick Ryan had scored a goal , wouldn't change a thing for me , they need some juice/jam/grit/pop on that 4th line, Mccarron or Danforh could be a start
Just got off work again 1st things 1st getting caught up with your update.great info as usual, thanks for your update Patrick 👍
