The Edmonton Oilers have finally done what makes the most sense to be put in a better position to win more hockey games. As confirmed by David Staples of the Edmonton Journal, the Oilers have officially decided to move right winger Jesse Puljujarvi to the top line and demoting right winger Zack Kassian.

At the end of the day, Kassian was underperforming with the minutes on ice he was getting and the Oilers still need help badly when it comes to Power Play situations.
