As the Edmonton Oilers prepare for the upcoming NHL season, I think this is the best top six the Oilers have had in a long time. While we can assume what the top two lines will look like in my opinion, I think it would be beneficial for Jay Woodcroft to pull out the blender often to change things up.
Edmonton Oilers Starting Top 6
Here is what most people, including myself, think the top two lines will look like on the season’s opening day.
Hyman – McDavid – Brown
Nugent-Hopkins – Draisaitl – Kane
The reason why this makes the most sense for day one is Hyman and Brown are the quicker of the wingers.
