The Edmonton Oilers have whittled their NHL roster down to the required 23 players. And the debate over whether or not Peter Chiarelli and Todd McLellan have made the right choices is fun to follow along with.
But the facts are that the Oilers roster will change, and quicker than you might expect. Remember: Last Fall, both Darnell Nurse and Oscar Klefbom broke camp with the club, but within 10 days both young men were gone, Klefbom for a brief stay in the AHL, and Nurse back to the CHL for the balance of the regular season and playoffs.
