NHL Rumors: Could Edmonton Oilers’ Championship Hopes Hinge on a Surprising Scoring Upgrade?
Allan Mitchell of The Athletic: The Edmonton Oilers need to increase their offensive production on their third and fourth lines. One way to do this is move Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Vasily Podkolzin to the third line and run new left wingers for Connor McDavid on the first line and Leon Draisaitl on the second line.
One issue for the Oilers is that some underperforming players have no-move or no-trade clauses. Adam Henrique will be activated to the lineup when games resume. Rookie Josh Samanski has played well on his bried audition, but he may have to be sent back to AHL because they have some immovable NHL contracts.
