A couple of days ago, I gave my projection for the Forward Line up for the Edmonton Oilers.
There were a couple contested spots on the roster, namely that second line right wing slot between Purcell and Yakupov. I also had Draisaitl as an extra, although he could very well be playing on the third line this season as a Left Wing.
If the Forwards had some serious contention, the defense is even more open. As of now, I can count tenpossible defenseman who could end up playing for the Edmonton Oilers.
