    This is what I suspect to see as well.
    the bolded are the Oilers top-4 Dmen and they have been running 11-F/7-D a lot this season.

    I'd be shocked if EDM brought in Ekholm and immediately played him on his off side.

    Are the pairings going to be:
    Nurse-Ceci
    Kulak-Ekholm
    Broberg-Bouchard
    God... Ceci screams another trade is coming.

    Even Holl would be a solid upgrade.

    I dont think you're going to sell Oilers fans on this one. Similar at times, maybe, but no one is taking Holl as a solid upgrade to Ceci at either end of the rink.

    Today is March 1st, not April 1st.

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    My point is more - Ceci MUST slide down.

    no way he should be 20:00 a game (ATOI) he needs to be a 6/7 if Oilers are going to defend come playoffs.

    Not going to convince me he's suddenly become a dependable top 4Dman.

    The Ellis deal was great for them, as they got stuff for a guy who has played something like 4 games since being dealt, and will likely never play again.

    Bouchard 3 assists tonight, two on the power play. Getting the tingling feeling!

    He’s looking good. Sloppy coverage and some mental lapses in the 2nd cost them the game. Soupy was a bit mush too.

    Funny thing to watch for with Bouchard, he is so awkward at the drop pass on the power play that they are directing things through Draisaitl to do it.
